"You seem to be
preoccupied, what's
wrong?"

"It's nothing."

yasukawa sato
"Well to me, it looks like
something. C'mon, talk to
your brother."

"It's just, they assigned
me to do something and I
just messed it all up.
Some people think it was
good, but people found
some holes and I just
can't wrap my head
around it."

yasukawa sato
"What was that you were
assigned to do?"

"This person had
requested me to finish this
mystery film that their
class was doing. In other
words, she wanted me to
become a detective and
solve the case of the
murder the class had
filmed so far."

yasukawa sato
"Did you find a
conclusion?"

"Well yeah at first I
thought it was alright, but
now that I watched the
finished product, I don't
think it's plausible

forgotten a few mishaps
here and there, I didn't
think it through properly,

original scriptwriter's
intention."

yasukawa sato
"So what?"

"Hah...? What do you

yasukawa sato
"I mean, so what if they
found holes? What's done
is done. It's not like they
can change anything by
now since you said it was
finished. Besides, it's just
their opinion--their point
of view. It's not like you
can change that too."

"Point of...view...?
Perspective... Oh, my
god."

yasukawa sato
"Why, what happened?"

"Everything just
clicked..."

"Are you sure you don't
want me to come with
you?"

"It's alright, I can
probably handle it.
Besides, didn't Fukube
want to hang out with you
today?"

oreki houtarou
"Well yeah--"

"Then go, he's still your
best friend right?"

oreki houtarou
"Fine, let me at least walk
you home later."

"Okay then,"
