Kindle Notes & Highlights
A man who gets no love from Lady Luck has no choice but to be prepared. That’s why Nanao always brings his bag of tricks.
Lemon looks irritated by Tangerine’s logic. ‘Well, dying like this doesn’t help the people trying to solve the case at all. Just for future reference, Tangerine, if you think someone’s about to kill you, make sure you leave behind some useful clues.’
Too right!
‘Lemon is the one that likes Thomas the Tank Engine, and Tangerine is the serious one that likes reading novels. Lemon’s a classic B blood type and Tangerine’s a classic A. If they ever got married it’d definitely end in divorce.’
Lemon knows that when Tangerine starts quoting books and movies, it’s time to be wary. It’s as if in his frenzied state the box of memories inside his head gets tipped over and the contents spill out, making him start quoting his favourite lines. It’s the surest sign he’s about to get violent.
‘I don’t know what’s going on, but there’s something seriously wrong with your train. Nothing but trouble.’
The job most certainly does not come second. The job is priority number one. But, you know, sometimes you just can’t make it work.’
Me, rationalizing anything and everything
