– A ‘brief’ summary of everything to do with this series –
“After making a very questionable bet, Adrien Dewstone is tasked with solving Several infamous murders that have plagued the small town of Westershire for over 3 decades now. Although, it seems our Detective knows a lot more than he’s initially letting on, and certain allies of his throw into question Adrien’s true morality, and why he’s actually solving these murders, a question which local ex-reporter Samson Rodgers is determined to figure out.”

[ Smug ] - “Mr. Dewstone please, you flatter me.. But your attempts at ridiculing the very career I’ve built my entire life on, especially given how you got your own start… Hmph, Are you jealous of me, Mr. Dewstone? That’s rather.. Embarrassing, childish even, for someone so revered you certainly don’t act it.”
[ Soft/Vulnerable ] - “I spent... Years dwelling on her passing, thinking of every possible prevention I could have done… But in the years after, I suppose I’ve realised that none of those matter in the long run. She may be gone, but the memories we hold aren’t.. The same goes for you, Detective. You need to spend time with her, especially if you don’t know how much longer you both have together.”
[ Flattered ] - “Hm, that's a rather… Romantic statement, isn’t it? Of all the people I’d expect to hear that from, you’d be the last.. I’m certainly impressed *Chuckle* Though, it sounds like you recited that right out of a Valentines Card.. Wee bit Cliche, is it not?”
