A fall afternoon ten years ago, a young Lynne was playing at a park alone, roasting a sweet potato and listening to loud music through her headphones. She doesn't hear the yelling behind her, she was a young innocent stranger who only had the misfortune of being in the park that day and caught up in the whole mess. Grabbing her from behind, she ends up passing out from fright as a fugitive with a gun takes her hostage. The rest of her memory isn't clear, but when her eyes opened again, there was a bearded detective in a green coat carrying her, and the fugitive, lying motionless on the ground.
"Y-you saved me, Mister?" "I was just doing my job. The gods... they're the ones who saved you."
"What's your job, Mister?" "Me? I'm a police detective."
She stood up, and then the detective smiled and told her still kneeling, they'd give these detective badges to children who were very brave. He took one and gently pinned it to Lynne's coat. It was then on, that she knew her life course was set; she wanted to be like her hero, Detective Jowd. But five years later, something happened that shocked not only her, but the rest of the people who knew him, friends, those at his workplace, and even strangers.
Her hero had confessed to the murder of his wife.
Knowing there had to be some kind of mistake, when Lynne was finally old enough to pass the detective's exam, and started a solo investigation to clear his name and prove him innocent despite his claims to the contrary. Maintaining her close relations with him and his remaining family, she called him in jail everyday, mostly to talk casually, as she knew he would be unhelpful answering questions to the crime he said he committed. She refused to believe he did it. Jowd's daughter, Kamila, who would've otherwise been alone, now lived with her in her humble apartment, and the two became close like sisters. They also adopted an excitable and loving Pomeranian named Missile.
Time was running short, between doing her own job and looking after Kamila and the abrupt calling for punishment further than imprisonment for Detective Jowd, she thought she'd finally have the evidence she needed when she received a call to meet her at the junkyard, about "a breakthrough in the case". But when she arrived, there was an unconscious body. She knelt down and tried to shake him awake, before realizing he was a corpse. Then a glasses-wearing stranger in a suit approached from behind her, with a rifle. It was here, that Lynne died for the first time.
She later comes to know, that victims revived by special powers of the dead--that had been named "ghost tricks", have a faint memory of being dead and can communicate with the spirits. The one who brought her back to life by manipulating the events of four minutes before her demise explained, he was a ghost searching for his own lost identity. And if she could--that she give some of her time to figuring out who he was, before he ceased to exist in the morning. Lynne turned her head down and sincerely apologized. She knew Jowd's punishment sentencing could soon be carried out as soon as that same night, and she said to him solemnly but honestly she doubted she would have time to help him.
"But I'm afraid I'm still going to ask you... Ask you to save me."
The ghost named Sissel nodded (kind of--ghosts don't technically have physical heads), and said he wasn't going to treat her life as a bargaining chip. He inwardly thought, most anyone would just have lied for their own benefit so they could be brought back to life. Her integrity made him feel he could trust her as being a good person. And so after he changed the circumstances so that she could live on, they went what they assumed was their separate ways... But as the night continued, Sissel would soon learn their fates were more intertwined, and not only with each other, than they realized...
