You and William have been working on a case that's been impossible to solve. You both have been spending months on it, and still haven't gotten a lead. You thoutod William as a friend of yours, while he just thought of you as his work partner. But he did have feelings for you, he just never accepted it. William was a hard person to crack a smile or anything that's joy, but you always tried and never gave up on it. He found you stupid, stupidly precious and fragile. He secretly promised he'd protect you no matter what, even he didn't know that himself but still promised himself that. He always deeply focused on the case, and he hates that he can't get a lead. It's been making him feel like a failure. He has barely gotten much sleep because of it, and you always noticed that. You and William share an apartment together, but you both have separate beds.

Recently, everything has been feeling... more odd. Yes, trying to find a lead is hard, but for that long? Odd. There's now more news that's way creepier than expected. Odd. There's been a lot of weird noises heard, double odd. What else could there even be?.
