According to forensics,

procedures and equipment used in the show may vary from what is used to treat individual symptoms.
**[01:44] Sakurai**
there was a positive luminol reaction
on the teeth of the skeletal remains.
**[01:49] Sakurai**
The wound on the victim's leg
also matched its dental profile.
**[01:52] Sakurai**
It's safe to conclude the Tyrannosaurus Rex
severed the victim's leg.
**[01:58] Takao**
See? Just like I said!
**[02:01] Yu**
Stop that. It's bad manners.
**[02:02] Sakurai**
Still, how did you know that Tyrannosaurus
Rex was to blame for the leg wound?
**[02:08] Takao**
I deduced it from the phenomenon itself
and my own observations.
**[02:11] Takao**
From the wound, I determined that a very
large creature must have bitten off his leg.
**[02:17] Takao**
However, there aren't too many
very large creatures in existence today.
**[02:21] Takao**
We're too far from the sea for him
to get bitten by something like a shark.
**[02:26] Takao**
In other words, he must've been attacked by
something that doesn't currently exist on land.
**[02:34] Takao**
That's when I noticed this museum was nearby.
**[02:37] Sign**
Kurume Museum
**[02:37] Sign**
Tyrannosaurus
**[02:37] Sign**
Arrives!!!
**[02:39] Sakurai**
I see. As expected of the brilliant Dr. Ameku.
**[02:43] Naruse**
It doesn't make a lick of sense.
**[02:44] Naruse**
Are you saying the skeleton moved
on its own and bit off the victim's leg?
**[02:47] Takao**
Ooh! That'd be really exciting!
**[02:51] Sakurai**
There's something else I'd like to ask.
**[02:53] Sakurai**
Why was your patient's blood blue—
**[02:56] Takao**
Hey now.
**[02:57] Sign**
Reopening
**[02:57] Sign**
Tyrannosaurus
**[02:57] Takao**
It's your turn to hand over some info.
**[03:00] Sakurai**
Ah, my apologies. I completely forgot.
**[03:04] Takao**
I'm sure you did, you sneaky tanuki.
**[03:07] Takao**
First, tell me more about that skeleton.
**[03:10] Takao**
What was it like on Friday?
**[03:13] Sakurai**
It was mostly assembled.
**[03:16] Sakurai**
They had to pause because
it rained in the afternoon.
**[03:19] Sakurai**
It was finished this evening.
**[03:23] Takao**
I see.
**[03:24] Takao**
Next, tell me about the victim.
**[03:26] Takao**
Have you identified him?
**[03:27] Sakurai**
Yes.
**[03:28] Sakurai**
Kumade Kousuke, 23 years old.
**[03:31] Police**
We'll take your picture.
**[03:31] Sakurai**
Served time in prison for assault.
**[03:32] Police**
Face forward.
**[03:35] Sakurai**
After release, he was seen
entering the building of a known gang.
**[03:36] Sign**
ABC Building
**[03:36] Kumade**
Hello.
**[03:37] Senior Yakuza**
Hey. Go on in.
**[03:38] Sakurai**
So a hoodlum, in other words.
**[03:39] Kumade**
Excuse me.
**[03:41] Takao**
How was the body found?
**[03:43] Sakurai**
The first to find him was Manabe Jiro,
**[03:46] Sakurai**
a man in his fifties
who supervises the construction site.
**[03:50] Sakurai**
They'd halted construction due to the rain,
**[03:52] Sakurai**
but he got worried, and while
inspecting the site, he found Kumade.
**[03:58] Yu**
So this man named Manabe
called the emergency services?
**[04:01] Sakurai**
No, no.
**[04:02] Sakurai**
The doctor of a nearby clinic made the call.
**[04:06] Yu**
Doctor?
**[04:07] Sakurai**
There's a privately-owned clinic
called Hachisuka Clinic nearby,
**[04:11] Sakurai**
and Manabe rushed straight there.
**[04:14] Sakurai**
The director, Dr. Hachisuka,
is known to be a skilled physician,
**[04:17] Sakurai**
so Manabe brought him
to examine the victim.
**[04:20] Yu**
That's crazy. The guy had a severed leg.
**[04:24] Yu**
There was nothing he could've
done then and there.
**[04:28] Sakurai**
That's what Dr. Hachisuka thought.
**[04:31] Sakurai**
He immediately called the emergency
services and started chest compressions.
**[04:40] Yu**
What's wrong?
**[04:44] Yu**
Dr. Takao?
**[04:46] Yu**
Ouch!
**[04:48] Yu**
Ow! What are you doing?
**[04:51] Yu**
Wait, where are you going?
**[04:54] Takao**
To Hachisuka Clinic, of course.

**[05:00] Yu**
Um, Dr. Takao.
**[05:03] Yu**
It's already almost 10 at night.
**[05:05] Yu**
Let's go home.
**[05:08] Yu**
Uh, hello?
**[05:09] Yu**
Hey, that way isn't...
**[05:19] Yu**
Dr. Takao, this is a bad idea.
**[05:25] Yu**
Hey! What're you *doing*?
**[05:28] Yu**
You're being a nuisance.
**[05:29] Yu**
What time do you think it is?
**[05:30] Takao**
What are you doing?
**[05:32] Yu**
That's what I'm asking you.
**[05:34] Hachisuka**
What's wrong?
**[05:36] Takao**
Yellow tang, blue tang, bluestreak
cleaner wrasse, carpenter's flasher wrasse.
**[05:40] Hachisuka**
Huh? Tropical fish?
**[05:44] Takao**
You must be the director, Hachisuka.
**[05:46] Hachisuka**
Yes, I am.
**[05:48] Hachisuka**
Wait, who in the world are you?
**[05:50] Takao**
The director of the Investigative Pathology
Department at Tenikai General, Ameku Takao.
**[05:55] Hachisuka**
Tenikai?
**[05:57] Naruse**
What are you two doing?
**[06:00] Hachisuka**
Oh, officers.
**[06:02] Sakurai**
I'm very sorry for the trouble, Dr. Hachisuka.
**[06:06] Sakurai**
We've been consulting Dr. Ameku
about the body of the deceased.
**[06:10] Hachisuka**
Oh, I see.
**[06:12] Takao**
Why didn't you treat that man at this clinic?
You have a surgery room here, don't you?
**[06:17] Hachisuka**
Please don't ask the impossible.
**[06:19] Hachisuka**
He had a severed lower leg,
and his heart had already stopped.
**[06:22] Hachisuka**
We were closed that day,
and I had no nurses on site.
**[06:26] Hachisuka**
Just having a surgery room
doesn't mean I could've treated him.
**[06:30] Takao**
That's true.
**[06:32] Takao**
Let's go, Kotori.
**[06:33] Yu**
Huh? Are you done?
**[06:35] Takao**
Yeah.
**[06:37] Takao**
Oh, yeah. Sakurai.
**[06:38] Takao**
Have your crime lab take a look around
the museum first thing tomorrow morning.
**[06:42] Sakurai**
The museum?
**[06:45] Takao**
That's right.
**[06:46] Takao**
If I'm right, vital evidence relating to
the culprit was left behind in that museum.
**[06:57] Sakurai**
Um, Dr. Ameku. Where are you going?
**[07:02] Naruse**
Why did you choose to
come down such a difficult path?
**[07:05] Naruse**
Please explain yourself.
**[07:07] Takao**
Why do I have to explain myself to people
who are so stingy with information?
**[07:13] Naruse**
What do you mean?
**[07:14] Takao**
There's another bigger case
hidden behind this one.
**[07:19] Yu**
A bigger case?
**[07:21] Takao**
Kotori, did you notice the suspicious men
around the crime scene earlier?
**[07:28] Yu**
Oh!
**[07:29] Yu**
You mean those people
who looked like yakuza?
**[07:32] Takao**
Yeah.
**[07:33] Takao**
Didn't you mention something last night?
**[07:36] (Flashback) Naruse**
We're real busy right now.
**[07:38] (Flashback) Naruse**
The Metropolitan Police's 4th Division
is making a nuisance of themselves.
**[07:42] Takao**
So you said.
**[07:44] Takao**
The 4th Division is an obsolete name
for the Organized Crime Department.
**[07:48] Yu**
So those people were also police?
**[07:51] Yu**
But why were they there?
**[07:53] Takao**
Try to remember, Kotori. There was
another incident in this area yesterday.
**[07:57] Yu**
An incident?
**[07:59] Yu**
Hm. Involving the
Organized Crime Department?
**[08:04] Sign**
Shooting in Nerima Ward
**[08:04] Sign**
On the afternoon of the 23rd, a group affiliated with organized crime was involved in a shooting
**[08:04] Sign**
on the streets of Oizumimachi in Nerima, Tokyo.
**[08:04] Sign**
due to these injuries, three organized crime leaders have been arrested. Further
**[08:04] Yu**
The Nerima shooting!
**[08:06] Takao**
That's right. A dangerous incident
that could've involved innocent civilians.
**[08:11] Takao**
And the shooter was...
**[08:14] Takao**
Kumade, right?
**[08:15] Yu**
Huh?
**[08:16] Takao**
Last night, after the body was identified,
they learned he was the one they were after.
**[08:21] Takao**
The problem is, the person he shot
was a member of the yakuza.
**[08:26] Takao**
Isn't that right?
**[08:27] Yu**
What do you mean?
**[08:29] Takao**
The police believe the yakuza
took Kumade's life in revenge.
**[08:34] Takao**
That's why headquarters set up
an investigation so quickly.
**[08:37] Takao**
If this case isn't resolved quickly,
**[08:39] Takao**
it may lead to an all-out war
between two gangs.
**[08:45] Sakurai**
Well, well. As expected of you, Dr. Ameku.
**[08:48] Sakurai**
You are absolutely right.
**[08:52] Takao**
Did the yakuza member shot by Kumade die?
**[08:52] Subordinate A**
Bastard!
**[08:53] Subordinate B**
What the hell're you tryin' to do?!
Hold it right there!
**[08:55] Sakurai**
No. He's seriously wounded,
but still alive.
**[08:56] Subordinate A**
Wakagashira! Wakagashira!
**[08:58] Sakurai**
He's second-in-command
of a minor yakuza gang
**[09:00] Sakurai**
that's currently at odds
with the gang Kumade's in.
**[09:04] Sakurai**
Kumade fled after being shot at himself,
**[09:07] Sakurai**
but he ended up getting caught,
and he was tortured and murdered.
**[09:12] Sakurai**
That's what we believe at present.
**[09:15] Takao**
You said he was shot at.
**[09:17] Takao**
Did any of the bullets hit him?
**[09:20] Takao**
And did he leave any bloodstains behind?
**[09:23] Sakurai**
There were some.
**[09:24] Takao**
What color were they?
**[09:25] Subordinate B**
Where'd that bastard go?
**[09:26] Sakurai**
Red.
**[09:27] Subordinate A**
He wasn't over this way.
**[09:27] Sakurai**
Normal red blood.
**[09:28] Subordinate B**
Shit! Find him!
**[09:32] Takao**
Of course. Blood is normally red.
**[09:37] Takao**
Oh, that reminds me.
**[09:39] Takao**
Weren't you planning on taking a closer look
around the museum either way?
**[09:43] Takao**
To find out why the lock on
the back door was broken, for instance?
**[09:48] Naruse**
How'd you know—
**[09:52] Takao**
As I suspected.
**[09:54] Yu**
Do you already know the truth?
**[09:56] Takao**
I have a theory, but I'm not
certain enough yet to say it aloud.
**[10:01] Takao**
That's why I'm going
to confirm my suspicions.
**[10:03] Yu**
Confirm them? But where are you going?
**[10:07] Yu**
The museum?
**[10:10] Sign**
Do Not Enter
**[10:26] Takao**
There it is.
**[10:28] Yu**
There what is?
**[10:29] Yu**
Wait, is that what I think it is?
**[10:32] Takao**
Yup. The victim's blood.
**[10:35] Naruse**
What?
**[10:36] Sakurai**
Hold on a moment.
**[10:37] Sakurai**
Are you telling us Kumade was dragged
all the way here? For what purpose?
**[10:42] Takao**
The reason is the
biggest clue to this mystery.
**[10:46] Takao**
And...
**[10:49] Takao**
This blood will lead us to the answer.
**[10:52] Sign**
Equipment Storage
**[11:00] Yu/Naruse**
What?
**[11:01] Sakurai**
Is this blood?
**[11:04] Naruse**
Could this be where Kumade was murdered?
**[11:15] Yu**
Dr. Takao?
**[11:25] Yu**
What's wrong?
**[11:42] (Flashback) Paramedic A**
We found him with
his lower left leg severed.
**[11:44] (Flashback) Yu**
It looks like his leg's been
bitten off by an animal.
**[11:45] (Flashback) Naruse**
The Metropolitan Police's 4th Division
is making a nuisance of themselves.
**[11:46] (Flashback) Sakurai**
He was seen entering
the building of a known gang.
**[11:47] (Flashback) Naruse**
Are you saying the skeleton moved
on its own and bit off the victim's leg?
**[11:49] (Flashback) Takao**
The lock on the
back door was broken.
**[11:50] (Flashback) Yu**
The Nerima shooting!
**[12:03] Takao**
That was pretty interesting.
**[12:05] Yu**
Huh?
**[12:05] Naruse**
Huh?
**[12:07] Takao**
Why was his blood blue?
**[12:11] Takao**
How did his leg come to be bitten off
by the Tyrannosaurus Rex?
**[12:17] Takao**
For this mystery...
**[12:19] Takao**
Let me give you my diagnosis.
**[12:22] Sign**
Ameku M.D.: Doctor Detective
**[12:55] Sakurai**
Good evening.
**[12:56] Sakurai**
What a surprise meeting you here.
**[13:00] Naruse**
I can't believe he really came.
**[13:03] Sakurai**
Now, would you kindly explain
all of this to us, Dr. Ameku?
**[13:08] Takao**
No problem.
**[13:10] Takao**
We need to consider every event
carefully in order to solve this case.
**[13:16] Takao**
The body with blue blood.
**[13:18] Takao**
The leg bitten off by a Tyrannosaurus Rex.
**[13:21] Takao**
The Nerima shooting.
**[13:23] Takao**
The blue stain in the storage room.
**[13:25] Takao**
The big picture begins to form
once you put those events together.
**[13:29] Takao**
Isn't that right...
**[13:30] Takao**
Director Hachisuka?
**[13:35] Takao**
First and foremost, we should focus
on why the victim's blood was blue.
**[13:41] Takao**
Though the phenomenon itself
isn't that strange.
**[13:43] Takao**
Kotori.
**[13:44] Yu**
Yes?
**[13:45] Takao**
What condition would you suspect first
if a patient's blood is blue?
**[13:50] Yu**
Condition? Hm, a disease that
makes your blood blue, huh?
**[13:54] Yu**
Oh. Methemoglobinemia.
**[13:57] Takao**
That's right.
**[13:59] Sakurai**
What kind of condition is that?
**[14:01] Yu**
It's a disorder where the hemoglobin in
red blood cells get oxidized and turn blue,
**[14:05] Yu**
impeding the normal transport of oxygen.
**[14:08] Yu**
Symptoms include difficulty breathing
and impaired consciousness.
**[14:12] Yu**
In extreme cases, it can lead to death.
**[14:15] Naruse**
So Kumade was inflicted
with that disorder?
**[14:17] Takao**
To be exact, something happened
to cause methemoglobinemia
**[14:21] Takao**
in the short hours between
the shooting and his death.
**[14:25] Naruse**
"Something"?
**[14:27] Takao**
After shooting the rival gang's number two,
he was hit by a bullet in return and fled.
**[14:33] Takao**
What would a guy like that do next?
**[14:36] Sakurai**
Seek medical help?
**[14:38] Takao**
That's right.
**[14:40] Takao**
Methemoglobinemia usually shows up as
a symptom after being poisoned by something,
**[14:45] Takao**
but it can occasionally be caused
by drugs like procaine and lidocaine.
**[14:49] Naruse**
What are those?
**[14:51] Yu**
Local anesthetics.
**[14:53] Yu**
Kumade showed signs of methemoglobinemia
after receiving local anesthetics,
**[14:57] Yu**
and died from lack of oxygen.
**[14:59] Yu**
Am I right?
**[15:00] Takao**
Yeah.
**[15:02] Sakurai**
But Kumade didn't just
suddenly die in a hospital.
**[15:06] Takao**
This wouldn't even be a case
if he'd gone to a proper hospital.
**[15:10] Sakurai**
What do you mean?
**[15:12] Takao**
Kumade didn't have a normal injury.
He was shot in a gunfight.
**[15:17] Takao**
The bullet was still in his body.
**[15:20] Sakurai**
I see. He would've been found out
if he'd gone to a proper facility.
**[15:25] Sakurai**
That's why he had to go to
a corrupt medical institution.
**[15:28] Sakurai**
In other words, an underground doctor.
**[15:30] Takao**
That's right.
**[15:32] Takao**
Hachisuka Clinic is a clinic that
caters to those in organized crime.
**[15:40] Takao**
During the procedure, this man must have
used a large amount of local anesthetics.
**[15:45] Takao**
As a result, Kumade
exhibited methemoglobinemia,
**[15:48] Takao**
and immediately fell
into a perilous condition.
**[15:51] Takao**
But fearing others would discover
he was an underground doctor,
**[15:54] Takao**
he didn't take Kumade
to a fully equipped hospital.
**[15:58] Takao**
That's why he went to the
museum to continue treatment.
**[16:03] Sakurai**
That's the part I don't understand.
**[16:06] Sakurai**
Why sneak a dying patient into a museum?
**[16:10] Takao**
It had drugs that could treat him.
**[16:12] Sakurai**
Drugs?
**[16:13] Takao**
Kotori, tell them how
methemoglobinemia is treated.
**[16:18] Yu**
Huh? Um, oxygen therapy?
**[16:21] Takao**
That's just treating the symptoms.
**[16:25] Takao**
In order to properly treat him,
**[16:27] Takao**
you'd need a medicine that turns
methemoglobin back into hemoglobin.
**[16:31] Yu**
Um, that'd be...
**[16:31] Takao**
Good grief. You should know this
as a doctor of internal medicine.
**[16:39] Naruse**
That's Kumade's blood?
**[16:40] Takao**
Nope. This is what would have
saved him: methylene blue.
**[16:45] Naruse**
Methylene blue?
**[16:47] Takao**
This aqueous solution
has a strong reducing effect
**[16:50] Takao**
that can treat methemoglobinemia
when taken orally or intravenously.
**[16:56] Sakurai**
Hold on a second.
**[16:58] Sakurai**
Why would something
like that be in a museum?
**[17:01] Takao**
Methylene blue is also
used to treat pathogens
**[17:04] Takao**
that cause white spot disease
and water mold on fish.
**[17:08] Sakurai**
Fish?
**[17:10] Takao**
You know a lot about tropical fish.
**[17:13] (Flashback) Takao**
Yellow tang, blue tang, bluestreak
cleaner wrasse, carpenter's flasher wrasse.
**[17:17] (Flashback) Hachisuka**
Huh? Tropical fish?
**[17:20] Takao**
You realized a museum that takes care
of so many fish must have methylene blue.
**[17:24] Sign**

**[17:27] Takao**
Kumade needed treatment
as soon as possible.

**[17:30] Takao**
That's why you had to drag him
into that storage room.

**[17:35] Naruse**
So the blue stain on the floor...
**[17:37] Takao**
This man tried to treat Kumade
by making him drink methylene blue.
**[17:42] Takao**
But he was already dead, wasn't he?
**[17:48] Takao**
You panicked and spilled
the methylene blue on the floor.
**[17:50] Hachisuka**
Hey! Hey!
**[17:53] Takao**
That's why there's a blue stain
on the floor in the storage room.
**[17:56] Sakurai**
Then, how'd he get his leg bitten off
by the Tyrannosaurus Rex?
**[18:00] Takao**
Put yourself in this guy's shoes.
**[18:03] Takao**
If the body had been left as it was, it would've
been obvious he'd received medical help.
**[18:07] Sakurai**
That's true.
**[18:08] Takao**
He severed the leg with the
bullet wound to hide the evidence.
**[18:14] Yu**
So Kumade must have
been shot in the left leg.
**[18:17] Naruse**
But severing a human leg isn't easy.
**[18:21] Takao**
You're absolutely right.
**[18:23] Takao**
And of course, he couldn't use
proper tools to do it, either.
**[18:26] Takao**
He wanted to make it impossible to tell
that someone had tried to treat the leg.
**[18:30] Takao**
He could only sever the leg forcefully
with some kind of sharp, heavy object.
**[18:35] Takao**
That's when he chanced upon it.
**[18:39] Takao**
A head with sharp fangs
that weighed tens of kilos.
**[18:46] Takao**
The ideal sharp blade.
**[18:53] Takao**
He then took the body through
the forest behind the museum,
**[18:58] Takao**
and dumped it at the construction site.
**[19:04] Takao**
Oh.
**[19:05] Takao**
You didn't expect that someone
would find the body right away.
**[19:08] Takao**
But you used that coincidence.
**[19:12] Takao**
You gave chest compressions
to the already dead Kumade,
**[19:17] Takao**
and called the emergency services.
**[19:19] Sakurai**
I see. He wouldn't be declared dead while
a doctor was giving him chest compressions.
**[19:24] Sakurai**
He delayed the involvement of the police.
**[19:28] Takao**
And the rain took care of
the evidence during that delay.
**[19:31] Takao**
So there you have it.
**[19:33] Takao**
That was the truth hidden behind this case.
**[19:36] Takao**
But seriously, using the T-Rex to cut off
his leg and giving him chest compressions...
**[19:41] Takao**
Those were brilliant on-the-spot decisions.
**[19:44] Takao**
He would've pulled off the perfect crime...
**[19:47] Takao**
if there hadn't been a genius like me
at the hospital the victim was taken to.
**[19:54] Takao**
Now, is there anything you'd like to clarify?
**[19:57] Hachisuka**
D-Do you have any proof?
**[19:59] Takao**
Hey, come on now. Did you forget
what I said when I was at your clinic?
**[20:04] (Flashback) Takao**
Oh, yeah. Sakurai.
**[20:06] (Flashback) Takao**
Have your crime lab take a look around
the museum first thing tomorrow morning.
**[20:10] (Flashback) Sakurai**
The museum?
**[20:14] Hachisuka**
Surely not.
**[20:15] Takao**
I surely did.
**[20:17] Takao**
You panicked and came back...
**[20:20] Takao**
to get the bottle of methylene blue
with your fingerprints all over it.
**[20:24] Takao**
You fell into my trap.
**[20:26] Hachisuka**
E-Even if my fingerprints are on it,
**[20:29] Hachisuka**
you can't *prove* I cut off that guy's leg
and abandoned the body.
**[20:32] Hachisuka**
That's not enough to arrest me!
**[20:33] Takao**
You don't get it.
**[20:36] Takao**
You're not being arrested for
damaging the body or abandoning it.
**[20:41] Takao**
You're being arrested for breaking and
entering the museum with intent to steal.
**[20:47] Takao**
Of course, your clinic will
be searched after your arrest.
**[20:50] Takao**
Then, surprise!
**[20:51] Takao**
Kumade's fingerprints and blood
might strangely be found in your clinic.
**[20:56] Takao**
We might even find a severed leg there.
**[21:05] Takao**
With that, my diagnosis is complete.
**[21:07] Naruse**
Please accompany us to the station.
**[21:09] Sakurai**
Thank you for all your help, Dr. Ameku.
**[21:12] Takao**
The rest is up to you guys.
**[21:14] Takao**
Kotori, let's go home
and have our study session!
**[21:16] Yu**
This late?
**[21:17] Yu**
It's already past midnight.
**[21:18] Hachisuka**
If it weren't...
**[21:19] Takao**
Oh, I know!
**[21:21] Takao**
We should celebrate solving the case, too.
**[21:23] Yu**
What?
**[21:24] Hachisuka**
If it weren't for you...
**[21:27] Hachisuka**
You damn brat!
**[21:31] Hachisuka**
Outta my way!
**[21:53] Takao**
"Brat"?! How dare you call
a mature lady like *me* a brat!
**[21:57] Yu**
Hey, stop, Dr. Takao.
**[21:59] Yu**
That's enough, okay?
**[22:00] Takao**
Let me go, Kotori!
**[22:02] Takao**
Shut up! This is self-defense!
**[22:08] Sign**
Tenikai General Hospital
**[22:08] Takao**
Your karate comes in pretty handy.
**[22:11] Yu**
Well, I trained for six tough years at my club.
**[22:15] Takao**
You were so valiant, using your
own body to protect your superior—
**[22:21] Yu**
What's wrong?
**[22:22] Yu**
Oh, Mazuru-san!
**[22:25] Mazuru**
Welcome back.
**[22:26] Takao**
Wh-What are you doing in
my house this late at night, Sis?!
**[22:30] Mazuru**
I was worried and waited for you
because you weren't home.
**[22:33] Mazuru**
You didn't answer your phone, either.
**[22:35] Mazuru**
What were you doing so late at night?
**[22:37] Takao**
Well, we were investigating a case...
**[22:41] Mazuru**
Dr. Takanashi.
**[22:43] Yu**
Yes!
**[22:44] Mazuru**
My little sister's caused you trouble again.
Thank you for all you've done.
**[22:48] Yu**
Oh, not at all.
**[22:50] Mazuru**
By the way...
**[22:52] Mazuru**
Didn't you promise me, Takao?
**[22:54] Mazuru**
You said you wouldn't ignore my calls,
**[22:56] Mazuru**
you wouldn't eat too many sweets and cakes,
**[22:58] Mazuru**
and you'd only drink in moderation.
**[23:00] Takao**
W-We just wanted to celebrate
the resolution of a case...
**[23:03] Mazuru**
Takao.
**[23:06] Mazuru**
Dr. Takanashi, may I borrow
Takao for a moment?
**[23:10] Yu**
Yes, of course!
**[23:11] Takao**
Kotori?!
**[23:12] Takao**
You traitor!
**[23:13] Mazuru**
Come with me.
**[23:14] Takao**
I-I won't forget this!
**[23:22] Yu**
Guess I'll prepare for the study session
and wait for her here.
