In The Yard, Clue is known as a Beagle who is nose down, eyes up, faith in the trail unshakeable. Anyone within earshot of Clue eventually hears the theory that every glassbird feather contains a forgotten word. Pups passing the drowned subway tunnels sometimes wave to Clue out of habit, even on days when nobody is actually there. Clue suspects the universe rewards pups who share their snacks and ask the awkward questions.
