This is the last page of the chapter. Seiko is headed to the nearby town where she grew up, because a lot of paperwork and other stuff needs to be put in order when someone dies. We learn a little more about the circumstances here, the fact that there was a fire that destroyed pretty much everything. Seiko is dressed uncharacteristically – mostly to hide her emotions and distance herself from the world (also, possibly hangover).

In case you haven't caught on before, the dinging is the door chime on the front door. (In this case, it signals Seiko's departure.)

Check in tomorrow for the colored first page of the next chapter: “Eye of the Storm”

Masq: True. Their friendship is definitely strained. Yuki is focused on a “mission,” and her bluntness causes problems.

Peipei: She could be overreacting, but Yuki is very worried about this whole situation.

amanda: Yes… That would be wise… XD
