Status Updates From The Case Files of Jeweler R...

Tanimoto is sure right. Melon soda >>>>>>>>>>>>>> coffee

... if one had made a drinking game out of Seigi's constant mentions of Richard's beauty, they would have never come this far into the novel; they would have died barely halfway through the first chapter

Seigi: Woah, Mami is amazing. She doesn't react at all to Richard's otherworldly beauty!!

She's a LESBIAN 😭

The diamond story: Lmao the irony of Seigi thinking that Tanimoto doesn't understand that she is being asked out. We get a glimpse of HK and realize that Seigi is an sincere idiot.

Keeping track of all the stories in the novel.

Ruby: Seigi's first meeting with a lesbian. He (ignorantly) thought all queer characters were happy and proud.

Amethyst: Meets a host. Seigi being annoying about the Jaguar (but he's young).

It's a reread for me. I'm always taken out by Seigi's physical description of Richard.
