While talking to his crush Seigi meets her friend, a professional ballerina, only to later run into her while investigating a disappearing necklace. This one was odd, I felt like too many things were done off screen. The reveal also seemed too high stakes for how light the plot had been so far. The second case revolved around Seigi's former martial arts senior and the situation surrounding a jewel he had recieved as a present. I enjoyed this one a lot, it had emotional depth and an interesting resolution. It also brought Richard and Seigi closer, it was nice to see them connect and deepen their bond.
