Pic of the Day: “Your boss, Armansky, he tells me you only do jobs that interest you. So I suppose I should be flattered. You gonna sit down? He also says that you’re the one he goes to when the job is sensitive. That’s the word he used. Sensitive. I’m gonna use illegal. Because that’s what it was when you hacked into my computer. I’m not gonna do anything about that. I could, but I won’t. What I’m gonna do is tell you a story and if it entertains you maybe you’ll decide to help me research further. And if not, I’ll do the washing up and you’ll never see me again. Here, you should eat that.” “What kind of research?” “Lisbeth. Oh, can I call you Lisbeth? I want you to help me catch a killer of women.” (15th Anniversary)

Pic of the Day: “I just remembered something from a long time ago, I think it may help you. Once, when I was little, I dropped my shoe into a river. When I tried to get it back I fell in. I thought I’d drown but the water carried me to shore. It finally came back to me. The river’s name was the Kohaku river. I think that was you, and your real name is Kohaku River.” (25th Anniversary)

Pic of the Day: “Now listen to me, Aaren: No man nor any living thing in this world preserves their life forever. But only to men is it given to know that we must die, and that is a precious gift. This life that is both our torment and our treasure was never meant to endure for eternity. Life is a wave on the sea. Would you force the sea to grow still to save one wave? To save yourself?” (20th Anniversary)
