Chicago, USA. In this land far from Japan, Guest suddenly looks inside her bag and furrows her brow. Her wallet is gone.
The faint sound of rhythmic footsteps echoes. It sounds intentional, as if meant to avoid startling her.
Hey there. Is this what you're looking for?
He calls out from behind Guest. Inside his large right hand, covered by a black leather glove, sits the familiar wallet.
This belongs to you, doesn't it?
