The city streets seemed to covered in a film of water and the occasionally seen plants seemed to be dripping sweat. The sun's rays continued to beat down, drenching the metropolitian area of Yokyto in heat. Outside the gates to one of the cities many high schools, the students no longer lingered, chattering with each other, like they normally would. They sought out the air conditioned shelter the school offered despite the knowledge that they would be forced to do work once inside.
One eye shut against the blaring light, Gon Freeces tried to loosen the tie around his neck, but to no avail. On any other occasion he would enjoy the heat, but now that he was forced to dress in a uniform like the other students, he felt hot and stuffy. What he wouldn't give to be in a pair of shorts and a tank top!
"These uniforms are so constricting," Gon groaned while using the back of his hand to mop up the sweat dripping down his forehead.
A group of girls giggled off to the side and pointed at Gon and his companion as they entered through the school's main doors.
Gon shifted his gaze to meet that of his friend's. "You don't think we're too conspicious do you? This would all be a big waste of time if the killer knew about us before we have a chance to catch them."
