I now have the accompanying mental image of one of them - I'm thinking probably Haruna - receiving A Visit in her new digs from some kind of investigator who has no idea about the Fog thing, but thinks he's onto something hinky in re her, like those people who hunt vampires and other long-lived paranormals in various modern-urban-fantasy settings. You know the kind of thing - both parties outwardly cordial, but the whole conversation seethes with barely veiled intimidation and menace, as one party tries to get across the "I'm Watching You, and One Day You're Gonna Get What's Coming To You" message and the other counters with the "You Have No Idea What the Fuck You're Messing With" message without either of them coming right out and saying so.

Only in this one, part of the vampire hunter's schtick is roaming aimlessly around the living room, picking up various nicknacks and looking at/fiddling with them while he's talking, one of which is the extremely detailed model of a Kongō-class battleship that was on the shelf above the TV. It's slightly eerie. Heavier than it looks, and if he didn't know better, he'd swear the gun turrets were tracking him.
