Deep within the bowels of the shop, no sounds or scents from the outside world can penetrate. But, Chris’ preternatural awareness of the world around him makes him sensitive to such things. The tempests Chris must weather.

Leon realizes he looks forward to his "interrogations" of D

A Pet Shop of Horrors novel set after the end of volume 10 of the original manga. It looks as if D and Leon will be separated forever--until D makes a choice that will change both their lives.

(Or, that time Bull was kind of a lonely, grumpy cop trying to figure out if Dorian was an ancient dragon hell-bent on exacting vengeance on humanity by killing people one at a time via the pretty inefficient method of selling them pets... or if he was just lonely and grumpy too.)
