The sky was low and gray. The entire city was cold and silent, like a photograph. Two eyes that had never seen the world were walking. They perceived the orange sound emanating from the young man.
Why was it open anyway...
Oh dear!
I'm truly, truly sorry.
Are you okay? I didn't hurt you, did I?
This is why I don't like canes...
It's okay...
You're so tall!
Really quite tall.
And now the voice is coming from above...
...
!
...
What about you? Are you okay?
I heard a voice coming from the ground...
Good...
Ah!
Excuse me.
You should look both ways before crossing the street!
Pay your taxes!
...
Didn't they rob you?
Hmm... I don't think so.
There it is!
Hands up, cop!
Damn it!
I swear, I don't have anything on me today!
Honestly...
What's this then?
Mischievous thieves...
No one can stop them, they're too fast.
Wow, how did you guess?
Well, let's call it intuition.
My cap replaces all the documents you need.
I also have real documents.
I didn't take it personally.
You don't need to worry.
Are you alone?
Following me won't lead you to Wonderland.
And I'm warning you now.
Do you think I look like Alice?
So, are you a police officer?
Well...
Thanks.
Ugh
Isn't anyone with you?
Huh?
Wow...
You've come quite a long way, huh?
This paper...
I think this is his address...
It's the first time I've seen someone keep their eyes closed.
Hmm...
Don't get me wrong...
I haven't seen anyone before anyway...
Can I please have my passport back?
Well, you know...
There are stairs in front of you.
Please be careful.
I can take care of myself.
Please, don't worry about me.
Don't ruin it, that's my favorite story!
Maybe you are similar!
Hahaha!
He laughed!
So that's why you were sitting...
Just then, the rabbit bumped into me...
Now I wonder where that rabbit went...
Haha...
Maybe you're right...
This morning I almost fell into a pit...
A manhole cover was left open...
Oh...
That's very dangerous...
I was looking somewhere else too...
The kitchen section has a wide selection of teas to suit every taste.
Well... Maybe the police station where I work?
Really?
We even have a room for lost children.
I'm not a lost child.
I'm looking for a job.
I swear!
I'm telling you, I'm looking for one!
You don't say?!
Answering the phones, hmm..?
...
Well... I was just about to go have some tea...
It's a real tea lover's place, especially the police chief.
...Who probably should have opened a tea house instead...
Um...
Oh, um...
I'm sorry.
What luck! I mean...
Our department...
was going to look for someone to answer the phones!
Officer...
Do you know any nice shops around here?
Do you think I'm suitable for this job?
Hm...
Why don't you give it a try?
I hope you won't get too bored.
Don't worry about that.
It can't be worse than sitting at home.
Will you let me take your arm?
To get there...
Oh, of course!
You'll watch out for potholes, right?
Huh?
Oh...
Of course...
Well...
Um...
