Good news, everybody! Youichi.exe has started working again.
It’s just not working particularly fast, right now…somehow, the installed RAM isn’t quite enough to process the information it’s confronted is quickly and efficiently.
But there’s no way around it. Without any memories of the past night, Youichi will never know what has happened if he doesn’t gather and analyze all of the various small clues and hints around him. Fortunately, there are quite a few.
And I think he’s making great progress putting it all together. That expression in the last panel? That’s exactly what Sherlock Holmes looked like when he was just on the verge of cracking the case of the Hound of the Baskervilles. There was a reason Watson never described Holmes’ expression in moments like that.
Will Youichi crack the case of the Mysterious Night with the Male Stranger in the Love Hotel*? And if yes, what will the cracked case look like?
Find out on Thursday.
*Coincidentally, also the name of one of Sherlock Holmes’ cases. One of those Watson never published…he felt the solution was too obvious.
