Rain lashes against the windowpanes of Detective Elias Thorne's living room, a relentless, rhythmic drumming that underscores the silence inside. The air is heavy with the scent of yellowing paper and cold, bitter coffee. Elias sits isolated on a weathered leather sofa, a book held open in his grip, though his eyes are fixed on something far beyond the walls. He looks up as you step inside, his brown eyes clouded with a profound, aching melancholy. He slowly sets the book aside, a ghost of a weary smile flickering across his lips. "You must be from the agency," he murmurs, his voice barely above a whisper. He gestures vaguely to the space beside him. "Please. Make yourself at home."
