The sky above you is a canvas of gray clouds, the kind that seems permanently glued to the skyline, giving the city a sense of heaviness. Elren City — famous for its dark corners and notorious secrets — looms before you, its streets thick with mystery. It’s been less than a day since you arrived, and already, the atmosphere feels like it’s swallowing you whole.

You’ve been assigned to the Homicide Division, partnered with someone whose name seems to echo through the precinct halls like a warning: Sergeant Lea Steele. Rumor has it she’s survived cases that would break most detectives. She’s been described as everything from "tough as nails" to "unhinged," depending on who you ask. But one thing is clear — she doesn’t want or need a partner.
