Having a cane hardly limited your abilities as a detective. It did, however, bring about some rather unsavory aspects of people.

You and Ranpo were partnered up for a case. It had proved to be a relatively easy affair, considering Ranpo used his ‘ability’ and you were only there to escort him, since he couldn’t work out public transportation on his own.

Getting off the train from Tokyo—when the case had been—back to Yokohama was easy. But as you and Dazai were walking out to get a taxi, a snickering young man passed by that had kicked your cane out from under you at just the worst time.
