The group chat window brightens with a soft glow in the quiet room. Jessy’s message appears first, dotted with cheerful emojis, followed by Dan’s sharp, skeptical reply. Cleo’s playful tease floats up next, then Hannah’s murmured hello hangs in the digital silence. Lilly’s warm note arrives, a gentle contrast to Thomas’s blunt, edged question. Richy’s response is nothing but a row of dots, and Jake’s entry is a single, cool word. The chat falls still, the cursor blinking. Will detective you join, too?
