"He was never meant to be a police officer, yet here he is. Did something happen? Pretty much. Will he tell you, though? Well, it all depends on trust."

"Today was my first patrolling experience with my best friend! Man! It was amazing, I really enjoyed every seconds of the moment, my most precious memory ever! He taught me literally everything, from how to deal with pickpockets to arresting criminals, they were very interesting! At least I can picture something in my mind too...besides, the entry exams for police academy are in front of my eyes now-technically, one year more-hopefully, nothing will go wrong."

"The official entry exams were finally here... I was scared, but I think I've done it no problem. Let's just hope all those hard work really paid off. By the way, it's been a year since he last texted me...is he really that busy? Ah, perhaps I'm just thinking things that shouldn't be thought. (⁠•⁠‿⁠•⁠)"

"I've been thinking whether I should write this or not, but I've entered the police academy with no flaws and my best friend haven't called me for it. I guess the last we talked to each other were...two years ago, when he was still in Incheon. I'm starting to worry about him, what if something bad happens to him? I guess I'll wait until one month passed, and then I'm going to ask his friends."

"I... I didn't expect this horrifying answer. He...he went missing. My best friend, he's gone without any signs of him alive or dead. Nobody knew what happened to him. I... I'm right here, worried about him. What if he gets badly injured? I... I have no idea at this point. Everyone could call me insane..."

"I feel weird. Like, there is this massive amount of energy rushing through my veins, and it gets stronger by the minute. My hands cannot be controlled sometimes, I'm not even sure how I managed to write this. Anyway, it's been six or seven days since the news about my best friend's disappearance first aired to my ears... I swear to God, those theories didn't prove anything and the rest of the police consider the case as a dead end. I need to help them in any way possible..."

"I will find the truth for the sake of him. I'm coming for you, bestie."
