"The writer who wouldn't write until he gained the support of readers...goes for all eternity without releasing his maiden work. The reader who waited for the writer's rise to fame...goes their whole life without knowing the joy of the mystery genre. - Narration at Episode 5, ???? (Tea Party of the Unhuman)"
