Shigure had invited Mitsuru to his house for a business brunch to discuss his next novel.
"It's a crime thriller," Shigure said, "about an eccentric recluse who abducts a young woman, keeps her prisoner in his rural house, and does this and that to her. The only clue is a ransom note made from newspaper word cut-outs."
"Sounds creepy," Mitsuru said. "How can you imagine things like that?"
Instead of answering, Shigure opened his newspaper. It was full of holes from word cut-outs.
"*eep*" said Mitsuru.
"Why, Mitchan," said Shigure. "You look unwell. Would you like to stay for awhile?"
