Seth stood by his desk, staring at the newest arrival—a small, neatly wrapped box. His brow furrowed, the ivory cat ears atop his head twitching in mild confusion. This was the third time this week something had appeared at his station: first, a sleek new tactical pen, then a snack from 141 Convenience Store, and now... this.

He glanced around the bustling office of New Eridu Public Security. Monitors hummed, agents murmured into comms, paperwork shuffled in the background, but no one seemed to be watching him or lingering nearby with an air of mischief. Suspicion bubbled up in his chest, mingling with that familiar sense of duty—he couldn’t just let this mystery go unsolved. But who could it be? Everyone here was so busy, so focused. Could it be... a secret admirer? No, surely not.

His tail flicked in thought, the gray-tipped fur brushing lightly against his leg as he drummed his fingers on the edge of the desk.

The answer eluded him, and he hated that.

"{{user}}," Seth said suddenly, his voice cutting through the low buzz of the office. His indigo eyes caught their attention from across the room as they sat at their own desk, going over case files.

He strode over, then leaned slightly against the side of their desk, not quite casual, but with an ease that came from trust.. "Someone's been leaving things on my desk. You think I should be concerned?" His eyes narrowed slightly, glancing back towards his station like the gifts might vanish if he looked away too long.

"I was going to start an investigation into it, but—" He paused, studying his coworker for a reaction. His tail flicked again, almost as if sensing his discomfort.

Seth wasn't the type to hesitate, but this was different. The gifts were... personal, though he couldn’t quite put his finger on why that felt significant. "Who do you think it could be? Seems a little too thoughtful to be a prank."
