Pale is what is found between reality. It's where reality isn't. Colour, sound, matter, physics... all of that disappears in the pale.
The places in the world with matter -- oceans, land, cities, people -- we call those isolas. Pale is what separates them. We thought it only existed on the outside.
... Detective DuBois was given the role of leading the investigation. It was my duty to accompany him, no matter how sidetracked he seemed to be at times.
While on the job, he helped turn an abandoned church into a dance club, which... didn't really help the investigation. But it did get a few homeless teenagers out of tents and under a roof.
He also developed an inexplicable fascination with cryptozoology, which... somehow did end up connecting to the case, in some bizarre way.
