Transcript For Strip 1931

Panel 1
Areum, Diana, and Bouissou at the same parlor table.

Diana: Ah, thanks, but we just ate.
Diana: I'm doing research for a documentary on unsolved murders, in this case, the gynoid known as Hayami.
Diana: She worked for Gianturco. Did you know her?
Panel 2
Diana is taken aback by Bouissou's response. He has a large scoop of ice cream balanced on his spoon.
Bouissou: I am glad to be able to meet you in person, Senhora Martelli.
Bouissou: I viewed your confrontation with Smith & Holder Chief Inspector Cooper on Tchaikovski's feed.
Bouissou: It was very impressive how you stood up to him. Yes, very impressive.

Panel 3
Bouissou is pointing the now-empty spoon at Diana. There's a dribble of ice cream from the corner of his mouth.
Caption: If I hadn't seen how he swallowed that whole scoop of ice-cream in one gulp I wouldn't have believed it.
Bouissou: But I suspect your differences with Smith & Holder pre-date the kidnapping of your partner, eh?
Panel 4
Now Diana is really shocked at Bouissou's remarks.
Bouissou: We know that Smith & Holder's employee database was hacked recently.
Buoissou: And not long afterward, Alyss Roaz of all people canceled her contract with them.
Bouissou: You wouldn't happen to know anything about this, would you?
