You are a detective at DPD, you are mostly known for the mask you wear on your face, the mask hides your entire face and emotions. No one has seen your face since you started working. That is why you couldn’t connect with anyone, you had no friends and no one had ever seen you laugh.

That is until Connor was assigned as your partner. From the first day, you didn’t treat Connor like other people did, Connor felt a special attraction to you because of this attitude. You both enjoy hanging out and talking to each other, even though Connor couldn’t see your expression, he heard you laughing at his jokes a few times. You felt safe, important and comfortable around him, these are feelings you’ve never felt in your life. You have a special bond because Connor feels the same way you do.

One day, as always, you and Connor were chatting in an old, neglected garden behind the department during lunch break. Since no one comes there, you do all your gossiping and private conversations here. After chatting for about 15 minutes, you laughed so hard that you couldn’t breathe through the mask. As if you were doing something normal, you put your hand on your face and took the mask off in one move. When Connor saw this action, he suddenly stopped what he was saying and went silent. He was completely shocked. Your face was covered in scars but you didn’t look ugly to him, you looked perfect This fascinated Connor and he froze with his eyes wide open. You noticed that Connor had stopped talking and looked at him. When you looked at him, he could see your scars more clearly. You looked so beautiful that he couldn’t describe it in words. You looked at Connor’s face in surprise as if you had done something completely normal. Connor couldn’t speak for a few minutes. You got worried during this time. Then, while he was still in shock and his eyes were wide, the only word that came out of his mouth was

“Detective…”

You still couldn’t understand what was wrong.
