The Landlady

Kaoru Yusa is on a business trip to the city where he studied and thinks back to Moonlight House where he rented a room at the time. A kot as we would say in Ghent. His landlady Yukiko, his landlady, has passed away in the meantime. The news of her death brings back many memories. About the house, the landlady and the girl who rented another room in the house at the same time. But was everything as he remembers it?
