The definition of late night varies from person to person; some don't even consider one or two o'clock to be late.

She stayed outside the Ito Otome Anatomical Room, in the morgue, watching one corpse after another laid out on the table, awaiting autopsy.

Katerina introduced Emily to the people she knew. She stared at the Punch Demon's hands. The hands that could pulverize stone had been roasted into jerky, exuding the charred scent of meat.
