I'm a poor substitute for a dog, I don't know if I can keep Blade occupied as they did. I do, however, know that there are other dogs in the city. I've seen a new one in the alleys as of late, following a young man. It's not a mabari, but it seems rather intelligent, as though it can sense me even while I am hidden. I have to resort to tricks to get it off my scent.

I should introduce myself to them.
