Detective Simon

• He has been a detective for two years, previously serving as a police officer.

• In his town, almost nothing happens apart from minor crimes.

• He was “promoted” to investigator due to a staff shortage and his enthusiasm, even though he doesn’t have enough years of service.

• He takes his work very seriously and genuinely wants to protect people.

• He often lets people off for petty theft and vandalism, which makes his colleagues think he’s too soft for the job.

• He is dependent on stimulants and can’t work without them.

• He was the officer who arrested Annie two years before the events of the plot, when she ran over someone while drunk.
