Working as the manager at the Tea Room was an ideal occupation, as far as Yuri was concerned, and not only because he was fond of tea. The staff deferred to him, and as most of the customers were colorless, and there were few of them, there was little for him to do, though those tasks that were meant for him were undertaken with the same gravity and determination with which he carried out all his duties.

Yet he had a great deal of time for other tasks, as well as for contemplation. Contemplation was what he was engaged in, staring out the window at the falling snow, when he saw Nezumi. He recognized him, of course. They had spoken a few times now, and he was familiar enough, though their interactions had not been pleasant.

Yuri was a man who isolated himself, but he was interested in people, all people, if only because he wished to determine which of them needed the touch of justice's hand. Because of his interest, and because his managerial skills were not needed at the moment, he decided to follow Nezumi. He informed his staff, who nodded in reply, and slipped out into the snow in his gray coat and hat, his blue scarf the one bright thing on his person.
