The Office Ladies’ Garden (Tuesday 12/14, Mid-day)
Today I brought reading glasses, dragged in from another place… but it -is- helping. I suppose I am getting old, or just not used to…
The Bad Cop
Saitou: “Oi! You’re new here aren’t you?” I look up but can’t see them clearly. I’ve had a bit more to drink on my way…
After Work (Monday Evening)
After the long walk home, I arrive to my brother sitting in the formal room. He must know the look on my face as he…
Snooping Around (12/13 Monday evening to night)
This was something I had to do alone, although I know Yuunosuke is probably upset I bowed out of going to Yagi-san’s again for dinner.…
Hide’s New Job
The streetcar was worth the outlay – although there won’t be much more of -that-, if I’m to be economical. But I’m on time and…

Sleeping Child
Saitou: I go to the bedroom. I don’t look around too much, I ended up not liking this part of the house after all. It’s…
The 100th Day
From this vantage point I see him, as he turns the corner to go up the hill. Leave it up to Otou-san to choose such…
Preparations (Sat AM, 12/11)
I go over the shopping list with Yukiko-san. The red snapper will be costly, but it’s tradition -and- my littlest girl won’t go without, even…
A Letter from Hide-neesan! (12/9 PM)
(Yuunosuke) Coming home, I check the mail, and see a small package from oneesan! Eagerly, I rip it open – and I have to read…
A Piece of Cake (Thursday PM 12/9)
It was a rather boring day. Doing surveillance on a bunch of new recruits is almost as bad as being in the office. But it…
Seeing about a job (Thursday Morning)
It’s strange to come here for myself. I remember the first time I came, eager and nervous and bearing lunch… and now, I’m still nervous,…
At Futaba (Weds Afternoon)
(Yamaji-sensei) I put down my pen, as I’ve finished recording my notes about my meeting with Yagi-san. Firstly, as is recorded elsewhere, Yamaguchi Makoto is…
