Once again his brain goes through the process about Kräsen and Johan's
disappearance, even though he has neither the time nor desire to do so. Tom’s
perfectionism, though usually a very useful skill, is sometimes a disadvantage for
him. It forces him from time and time again to examine all the possible details
