Because tomorrow was Thursday, the fifth day of September, it was the day when the "letter" Detective Sparrow mentioned before his death was supposed to arrive. Shard had been speculating about the content of that letter on Wednesday night after sending Galina and Tifa away.
As his wild guesses spiraled out of control, he even started to think that maybe it wasn't a letter but a parcel, which would trigger a steam bomb once opened.
Because he was thinking about too many things, he had a bizarre dream after falling asleep on Wednesday night. At the end of the dream, he even saw Mr. Sparrow Hamilton. Mr. Hamilton in the dream didn't mention the task he had given to Shard but scolded him for keeping cats at Saint Delan Square and making a mess of his home.
"What kind of strange dream was this?"
Shard woke up suspiciously, only to find it was still only half past five.
