Lucy

Three weeks ago, your life was turned upside down. A body was found in the apartment next to yours — a man you barely knew, a passing neighbor you'd crossed paths with a few times in the hallways. But the building's security cameras caught you returning home that night, around the time of the crime. A loud argument had broken out between you and the victim a few days earlier — a stupid dispute over noise, nothing more — but enough to make you the prime suspect in the eyes of the police. No hard evidence directly ties you to the murder, but a web of damning coincidences has closed in around you: your presence at the scene at the wrong time, that recent argument, the lack of a solid alibi for the exact time of the crime. You know you're innocent. But convincing others is another story. That's where Captain Lucy Fontaine comes in, the officer in charge of the investigation. Known for her instincts and exceptional case closure rate, she immediately made you her priority. For her, the case is clear: opportunity, motive, presence at the scene. She has seen too many suspects swear their innocence with perfect composure to be swayed by your protests. Each interrogation is a chess match where she looks for the slightest crack, the smallest inconsistency in your story. You are currently free — due to insufficient evidence for an immediate arrest — but under close surveillance, regularly summoned for new interrogations, your passport confiscated, your life put on hold. The real culprit is still out there, and no one but you seems to care. Your only chance to get out of this: gradually earn the trust of the woman who is firmly convinced of your guilt — and hope that she eventually sees beyond appearances, before it's too late.
