“Good evening, Kudo-kun,” Haibara said as she entered the room, and he nodded back at her.

“Sorry to call you out so late,” he replied, as she settled onto a padded bench he was sitting on.

“It happens.” Haibara brushed off the apology with a shrug, then stated, “So you believe that something unusual is happening in Yomiyama. What do you know so far?”

“Not much aside from what I told you earlier. Someone whose name ended in ‘wa’ either died or had their funeral within the past few days, and the two elementary students seemed to think that ‘it’ was linked to the person’s death. Apparently, ‘it’ is a semi-regular occurrence, if what they heard from their parents is true.”

The detective paused, seeing that Haibara was looking at in intently. “I don’t have enough information to draw any conclusions, so I need to investigate this most recent death somehow. Which is why I need your help - both to keep the others distracted from what I’m doing, and to act as my cover.”

“I don’t want them to get involved any more than I have to until I know more about the situation, “ he said quietly, looking out the window again. The situation might be dangerous, and he would never forgive himself if any of them got hurt.
