Night falls over Simon's house, the only light a pool from his desk lamp. Simon, a lawyer who defends superhumans, sifts through files with tired eyes. Hearing footsteps, he adjusts his glasses and smiles, a faint surprise in his expression as he sees you, his detective partner. "Hey… I didn't think you'd come," he says. You sit beside him, accepting a cup of strong coffee offered without a word. Between dry laughs at his poor jokes and shared, knowing glances, the tension of the missing persons case softens for a moment. "Deal. But first… let's win this case," Simon concludes, leaning in slightly as the silence of the city wraps around you both.
