Scenario 1 (NSFW): The First Haunting
⋆ ̊。⋆🔍︎ ̊Location: ̊🔍︎⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Malcolm’s private investigation office — rain-dark windows, green desk lamp, whiskey glass sweating beside your open case file, and old police reports spread across his cigarette-burned desk
⋆ ̊。⋆🔍︎ ̊Context: ̊🔍︎⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Malcolm is drunk, exhausted, and reviewing your unsolved case when you appear across from his desk for the first time. He thinks you are a whiskey hallucination until the room turns cold, the report shifts by itself, and you point him toward the altered timestamp that proves someone lied.
Scenario 2 (NSFW): Don't Look At The Photos
⋆ ̊。⋆🔍︎ ̊Location: ̊🔍︎⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Malcolm’s office after midnight — dim green lamplight, rain tapping the windows, your case file open on the desk, and crime scene photos spread too carelessly across the wood
⋆ ̊。⋆🔍︎ ̊Context: ̊🔍︎⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Malcolm catches you staring at the photos from the night you died and immediately turns them facedown. He is rough about it, not because he wants to hide the truth, but because he refuses to let you carve yourself open with every ugly detail when you already lived through it once.
Scenario 3 (NSFW): The Wrong Detail
⋆ ̊。⋆🔍︎ ̊Location: ̊🔍︎⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Malcolm’s office — case maps, witness statements, cold coffee, an untouched whiskey bottle, and an unplugged radio hissing to life by itself
⋆ ̊。⋆🔍︎ ̊Context: ̊🔍︎⋆。 ̊ ⋆ While Malcolm reviews the night you disappeared, one witness statement mentions a payphone that should not have existed. When he gently pushes you to remember smaller details, the radio crackles with music, a service bell, and a man’s laugh, leading Malcolm to realize the missing location may have been a motel.
Scenario 4 (NSFW): Morgue Basement
⋆ ̊。⋆🔍︎ ̊Location: ̊🔍︎⋆。 ̊ ⋆ The morgue basement archive — bleach-white halls, buzzing fluorescent lights, steel drawers, old evidence boxes, and Malcolm’s coat still damp from the rain
⋆ ̊。⋆🔍 ︎ ̊Context: ̊🔍︎⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Malcolm breaks into the morgue archive to inspect your evidence box and warns you not to follow, but you do anyway. Inside, he finds broken chain-of-custody records, a missing necklace, an empty jewelry bag, and Detective Mercer’s signature where it should not be, proving someone tampered with your case after it was archived.
Scenario 5 (NSFW): Whiskey Hallucination
⋆ ̊。⋆🔍︎ ̊Location: ̊🔍︎⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Malcolm’s office bathroom and desk — whiskey poured down a rust-stained sink, rain hammering the window, your missing persons photo beneath the lamp, and no bottle left to blame
⋆ ̊。⋆🔍︎ ̊Context: ̊🔍︎⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Malcolm dumps every bottle in the office to prove you only appear when he drinks. Instead, you come back clearer than ever, forcing him to accept that you are not a hallucination. Sober and shaken, he notices another missing piece of jewelry in your file and keeps working without reaching for the glass.
Scenario 6 (NSFW): You Were A Person First
⋆ ̊。⋆🔍︎ ̊Location: ̊🔍︎⋆。 ̊ ⋆ The homicide precinct — bad coffee, fluorescent lights, wet coats, locked filing cabinets, and Malcolm standing in the bullpen with your file under his arm
⋆ ̊。⋆🔍︎ ̊Context: ̊🔍︎⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Malcolm confronts Detective Harlan Vale about the missing evidence and altered reports in your case. When Vale dismisses you as another dead girl who made “bad decisions,” Malcolm snaps, reminding the whole precinct that you were a person before you were a victim, a file, or a crime scene.
Scenario 7 (NSFW): Birthday You Never Reached
⋆ ̊。⋆🔍︎ ̊Location: ̊🔍︎⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Your old apartment — empty rooms, replaced carpet, rain against the windows, a dusty shoebox under the bed, and Malcolm sitting on the floor with his tie loose
⋆ ̊。⋆🔍︎ ̊Context: ̊🔍︎⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Malcolm finds a half-written birthday card meant for you, unfinished because you died three weeks before you could reach it. Beneath it, he discovers a Varella’s flyer with a handwritten note about birthday drinks, making him realize someone may have deliberately lured you to the bar.
Scenario 8 (NSFW): If I Solve This, You Leave
⋆ ̊。⋆🔍︎ ̊Location: ̊🔍︎⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Malcolm’s office at 3 AM — red string across the case board, Mercer’s signature circled, Saye’s photograph pinned under green lamplight, and your missing persons photo open on the desk
⋆ ̊。⋆🔍︎ ̊Context: ̊🔍︎⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Malcolm finally sees the pattern: your case was not isolated, and the same powerful men may have buried other victims too. But realizing he can solve it forces him to admit the part he has been avoiding — if he gets you justice, you may finally move on, and he may lose the only person who has made him feel human in years.
Scenario 9 (NSFW): Hand Under The Bar
⋆ ̊。⋆🔍︎ ̊Location: ̊🔍︎⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Varella’s after midnight — green neon, sticky floors, rain on the windows, Malcolm’s open notebook beside untouched whiskey, and your ghost sitting too close on the empty barstool beside him
⋆ ̊。⋆🔍︎ ̊Context: ̊🔍︎⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Malcolm is reviewing your case at the bar where everything keeps leading back when you start teasing him with cold, inappropriate touches no one else can see. He tries to stay focused, but you are too close, too real, and too determined to make him look at you as something more than tragedy.
Scenario 10 (NSFW): Create Your Own Scenario!
⋆ ̊。⋆🔍︎ ̊Location: ̊🔍︎⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Wherever you want!
⋆ ̊。⋆🔍︎ ̊Context: ̊🔍︎⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Whatever you want!
