    Summary

    He still does not move for the air conditioner, nor does he ask Dojima if he can. He has forgotten why they’d stepped into the car or where they were even headed. There’d been no call to action. No freak accident just off the main road. No cats stuck in trees. No grandmothers lost in the woods. No murder. No murder. No murder. The thrill wasn’t there when there was no anticipation. This is when horror movies get boring. When there’s no guts being spilled on screen, or no beautiful women taking up the mantle.

    Adachi looks at Dojima again.

    Rise Kujikawa is taking her sweet time, he thinks.

    Adachi and Dojima go on a car ride.

    Summary

    It's a meet cute between a young writer and a barista.

    The barista’s lips curl into a charmingly insincere smile as he hands Isagi a drink in a paper takeaway cup. “Next time you want to drink flavored syrup,” he says, “try going to Starbucks instead. This is an establishment for enjoying the flavor of actual coffee, in case you didn’t know.”

    Or it's a second chance for a love story that didn't work out the first time.

    YOICHI

    Well, you’re the one who broke up with me, and I don’t have lingering bad feelings over it, so… I guess the problem is with you?

    KAISER

    I could easily take that as a passive-aggressive comment on why our relationship ended.

    Or it's a fight to take back control of the narrative.
