This is the page that prompted me to change the chapter title to “When the Cat's Away.” Leave Seiko alone in the bookstore for five minutes and see what she starts getting into… Also, it amuses me to think of Kaida and Seiko as a cat and mouse. Seems very appropriate.

I'm not sure why, but Seiko looks pretty good in panel 3. Since she's alone for a while, I got to have some practice drawing her and improving (just like Yuki's solo adventure helped me improve drawing her).

(The stethoscope to which she refers is from Chapter 5: “Seiko the Genius”. It's significance is revealed at the end of Chapter 6. ;) Just making sure we're on the same page.)
