"Hear anything?" Ayu responded to the question, lightly tapping her cheek with her index finger. "...No. I didn't hear anything, not even the sound that Momoe and Aurel heard." Her gaze wandered again. Momoe took advantage of the silence so she could speak up again.

"Oi, you." Momoe's gaze was firmly locked onto Maiya. "I don't know what the hell you're tryin' to pull here with draggin' me into this... but I've been to your lab, yeah. I also know for a damn fact you've got a bunch of old rags strewn all over the place," she growled. "It ain't just black and white... you can make a damn rainbow out of all those clothes."

Ayu was muttering again. She mumbled about how something was wrong underneath her breath. Momoe's head snapped to look back in her direction. "Your attitude is pissin' me off too. If you've got any better ideas I'd like to hear 'em," she growled at Ayu.

"...Aurel," Ayu spoke up. "The noise you heard wasn't near midnight, was it? Because that means I'd have heard it, too. Isn't there something strange about that?" she asked him.
