𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑫𝒆𝒔𝒊𝒓𝒆 𝑻𝒐 𝑪𝒐𝒏𝒕𝒓𝒐𝒍
Here comes something simple that turns into a mysterious case with too many traitors and questions left unanswered. 𝘾𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙚. An introvert with too many thoughts and actions balanced... for now. Humorous, 𝗼𝗯𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗮𝗻𝘁, quiet but a good liar. But what if the world she could manage and tolerate? Modern and known? 𝗛𝗮𝗱 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹? The one she'd read in stories, books, mysteries and murder. 𝘼𝙣𝙙 𝙖 𝙢𝙖𝙣. Mysterious and cold - unlike what she had ever met before. A voice elegant just depends, with choices some maybe can't tell. Until the game becomes similar for both. Until the humour she would think in her head had became quiet. And his mind... slightly changed.
