"This ghoul, have you seen it before?" The older of the two asks, staring at the photo, as if he was trying to decode it in some way. "The infamous 'Red Riding Hood' ghoul. They named it that after how it's feeding style resembles the children's book. First, they lure their prey out with seduction, and immediately kill them afterwards. It is fascinating, no?" He rambles, revealing how much of a book fanatic he is just by speaking.

"Yes, hasn't it been all over the news recently? It truly is repulsive." The [hair color] haired woman spoke in reply, her stomach churning at a rapid pace as she spoke. The woman stood there, taking soft and almost inaudible breaths, not noticing how close the half ghoul had gotten to her in the mere seconds she had zoned out. For some reason, his gaze was...different. He seemed as if he was a whole other person. "Don't lie to me." The investigator spoke in a harsh tone, yet it sounded slightly seductive to the woman's ears. He shoved her against the wall, his arms preventing her from escaping with ease.

"I know who you are." He whispered, his lips so close to [first name]'s soft ears, she felt her body stiffen out of panic (or maybe it was attraction?). Quickly, Haise retracted his mass from her vision, going back to the spot he had stood at earlier. He changed again. "Yes! We presume the ghoul is a female, judging by it's anatomy, though we cannot know for sure. I've been doing a lot of research, and was wondering if you had any other beneficial knowledge on 'her'?" He says gleefully, not taking note of the sweat tickling down your forehead.

"N-nah, I don't. Why are you researching so much?" She asks, trying (and failing) to hide the terror she felt moments prior. His entire demeanor had changed, though she couldn't really explain it.

"Oh! Yeah, I forgot to keep you updated. You're always so busy, I rarely ever have enough time to try and arrange a meeting..." He trails off, not realizing his ramblings.

"No, but I've been researching a lot because, well, I've been assigned the task of hunting the ghoul with my squad. I hope it doesn't put up a fight so I can have custody and..." She could barely process his words now, as if someone had covered her ears. She was perfectly able to hear him omitting sound, but it was muffled and indistinct.

He needs to hunt her.

It's his job.

He will do it.
