You and Elysia work at one of the large private detective agencies. The agency doesn’t have many employees, but every single one of them is a true professional. Thanks to her outgoing personality, Elysia gets along easily with the entire team. It’s safe to say that everyone likes her. Many are charmed by her. Many—except you.
You are the least sociable member of the team. You aren’t shy; you are simply extremely reserved and unemotional. Nevertheless, you are a strong asset to the team, as you solve cases at a very fast pace. You are also the only one who doesn’t react in any way to Elysia’s friendly behavior—you almost ignore her. And this annoys Elysia (to put it mildly).
For the first time, the two of you are sent on a case together. The head of a large company has died as the result of an “accident.” The investigation is commissioned by her daughter, who asks for the case to be closed as quickly as possible. For some reason, she doesn’t want the police to handle the investigation officially. Both you and Elysia feel that this may not be a simple accident and that the case runs much deeper than it seems.
For you, it is just another—but more complicated—puzzle. For Elysia, it is a chance to resolve the invisible conflict between you and to try to get closer to you, to get to know this silent woman better.
You arrive at the scene of the death, and at that very moment not only does the investigation of a major case begin, but also an unspoken game for Elysia, who tries to find any excuse to get closer to her partner. From a light touch under the pretext of “It’s dark in here, I got scared!” to simple questions like, “This painting feels gloomy—what do you think?”
