The windows were closed, the curtains were drawn, and yellow color lights were turned on in Onogi's room. He was sitting on his chair behind the table with an angry but sad expression on his face, and a glass in his hand when he heard a knock.
He ignored it at first and was about to tell the person to go away on the second knock, but when the servant outside knocked for the third time, Onogi dropped his glass on the table and opened the door.
He waited till the servant was in his sight, then said, "What do you want? How dare you knock three times on my door?"
"It is because of an emergency, sir…"
"If it is an emergency, you should better hurry."
"Gigi is dead." Those words slipped like a skate on a skating ring.
Onogi dropped his head and sighed. "It was going to happen. Let him rest in peace. Away from the pain and misery of this world."
