- It is possible to get the plates off the blue van. Running them through a database would reveal that it's registered to an even more elderly local farmer. The overwhelming smell of the van is "reeking exhaust, possibly burning oil."
- It's a tree. It has no unusual markings visible, and the only thing that can be determined about it by scent is that a) local stray cats have definitely pissed on the trunk, and b) there's a smell of sake around where Shimoda left the offering, this probably isn't the first one he's left.
- Maeda is complaining about scheduling difficulties. Shimoda is commiserating. They both express hope that "it won't be much longer."
