Chapter 1: Act 5: Scene 3
 * Oyuka: "Kayo-san! It's awful, just awful!!"
 * Panicking/Hurrying, Oyuka rushed over to Kayo's tailor shop saying that.
 * Kayo was at the time, repairing an obi [sash/belt]. It had holes in there here and there she was sewing together with a thread.
 * While continuing her sewing, Kayo responded to Oyuka--it's a scene you've seen before.
 * Kayo, without stopping, said to Oyuka.
 * Kayo: "What happened, Oyuka-san? You're in such a panick/hurry."
 * Oyuka: "A corpse came up the river."
 * Kayo: "Oh my...... did someone get drunk and down?"
 * Oyuka: "That doesn't seem very likely. the corpse in the water was a young girl, stabbed in the stomach."
 * Kayo: "So--you're saying she was killed by someone with a sword?"
 * Oyuka: "I don't know. But Doushin Soibee is investigating it along those lines. Though there are a lot of differences from the previous murder."
 * Kayo: "Whatever do you mean?"
 * Oyuka: "When the Miroku's lady was killed, everything she had was taken. But this time, the body was still wearing her kimono."
 * Kayo looked up at Oyuka with a quizzical face.
 * Kayo: "Oyuka-san...... that's pretty detailed, don't you think?"
 * Oyuka: "Mmm...... yes. [she explains it's not necessarily because she saw it up close herself but because the detective Eikichi came by her store and told her all about it]."
 * Kayo: "Really now... but, if the kimono wasn't taken, maybe it wasn't a thief."
 * Oyuka: "That's the thing, the kimono was certainly still there on the corpse, just not the obi."
 * Kayo: "The obi?...... perhaps it came undone along the way after it fell into the river?"
 * Oyuka: "Maybe--in any case, it's scary. Someone else has been killed, and moreover, both of them were women. [something akin to needing to look out for each other, I think]."
 * Kayo: "Indeed......"
 * While still speaking, Kayo obliquely moved the obi in her hands out of Oyuka's field-of-view.
 * Kayo: "So...... Oyuka-san. Do you know who the identity of this corpse is?"
 * Oyuka: "It doesn't seem to be confirmed yet. I heard the story from Eikichi...... But, well, if it's found out, they'll probably be informing the relatives immediately."
