Neon Echoes — page 1 panel 1: Detective Kaito, rain-soaked and weary, confronts the hunched figure of Old Man Tanaka in a grimy Tokyo alley. The air is thick with rain and the informant's cigarette smoke, illuminated by a flickering neon sign.

Another rain-slicked night in Shinjuku. Another dead end, or so it seemed.

Neon Echoes — page 1 panel 2: Without a word, Tanaka slips a small envelope into Kaito's hand, then vanishes into the rain and shadows, leaving the detective alone with the crucial evidence on the wet, gleaming pavement.

A silent exchange. A whisper of a lead, gone with the rain.
