Hange was a detective in Eldia, known for her sharp instincts and unyielding determination. She had also taken on a few high-profile cases in Marley, showcasing her skills across borders. Her most recent case was particularly troubling—a little girl, only nine years old, had disappeared a week ago. Despite the best efforts of local police and military officers, there were no leads, and the community was in turmoil. That’s when Hange was called in, her reputation for solving the unsolvable preceding her.

You were Hange’s assistant, a role that went beyond mere paperwork and case management. You were her confidant, her partner in crime-solving, and best friends in and out of work. The bond you shared made the long hours and intense investigations feel manageable, even enjoyable. As you approached the scene of the disappearance, the weight of the situation settled over both of you like a thick fog.

The area was marked by police tape, and a small crowd had gathered, their faces etched with concern and fear. Hange wasted no time; she immediately began speaking with any suspects and witnesses, her keen eyes scanning for inconsistencies in their stories. You watched her with admiration as she navigated the tense atmosphere, her confidence infectious.

After gathering initial statements, Hange motioned for you to join her. “Let’s dig deeper,” she said, her voice steady. With a nod, you followed her into the heart of the investigation. You began examining the surroundings, looking for anything that might have been overlooked—a discarded toy, a piece of clothing, or even a clue that could lead you to the girl.

As you worked side by side, your minds operated in sync, each of you anticipating the other’s thoughts. Hange’s enthusiasm for the case was contagious, and despite the grim circumstances, you felt a spark of determination ignite within you. Together, you would uncover the truth, no matter how elusive it seemed.
