Take a right by the fountain, and then a left by the second street near the counter, walk 200 meters forward, then cross, and -

Mmm... New toy~

[whoistheother]

You didn't find your way to Ueno after all?

...... ;~; BE NICE.

[slightedstains]

Kamui-san? No, it's - it seems - it's not on the map.

Is Shiro-chan all right?

Always~

[whoistheother]

Yes, it's me.

That's too bad that it isn't on the map. And no way to get to a connecting train line either, is there?

I think he is, yes.

[slightedstains]

No, there's... no connecting...

[wait]

...did you know? Were you expecting it? Kamui-san, are you... a spirit?

[whoistheother]

No, I'm not a spirit. I've been looking around too.

[slightedstains]

I don't understand... I don't understand why I don't remember. Why I can't find Hokuto, or Seishirou-san, or Ueno, or --- I don't understand why there's all this black clothing, and I found things with my name on them, and this isn't my pager, but - I don't understand anything.

[whoistheother]

Aren't you used to peculiar things happening sometimes?

[slightedstains]

...but my purpose is to make peculiar things go away.

[whoistheother]

Then you have something to do, don't you?

[slightedstains]

Then... don't worry. I'll protect you.

[whoistheother]

Thank you.

[slightedstains]

And... may I see Shiro-chan after?

1/2 You horrible person!

[whoistheother]

/searches for small white dogs

[whoistheother]

Yes, I think so. He's doing much better now. He might like a visit.

.............is he going to kidnap one.

[slightedstains]

Should I bring anything? I never asked... what kind of pet he is. Or what he's like. Can he still run? I can walk him for you...

...................if necessary...

[whoistheother]

Shiro-chan is a dog--a white dog, of course. He's very small and very friendly. He can run a little, but he's small, so he isn't very fast. He might like to be walked, and he might like a treat.
