“I have chosen to look into the investigation here in Denmark once again. The

                   reports made from the investigation in 1984, were in many ways far too lacking,
                   both in relation to Johan, who had worked freelance for Kräsen for a couple of

                   years, up to his disappearance, but also in relation to the alcoholic Jens

                   Willumsen. "
                     "Hmm, yes." Olina nods approvingly.

                   He continues in a low-key voice: “The investigations around Johan became so

                   vague, because they did not want to hurt the wife and the children, thus not
                   taking the demanding, but well-needed, in-depth conversations with Johan, that

                   could have shed light on his mental state around the time, afterwards then
                   mapped out, in great detail, his journey all the way up to his disappearance. The

                   same was true of the other Dane, Jens Willumsen, who disappeared the same

                   year. His disappearance was quickly seen as a consequence of his long-time
                   alcohol abuse. He could’ve very well fallen into a lake, drowning, or getting lost

                   in a cave, starving. His death may very well be on one of his trips down south. "

                     "Yes, I agree with that."
                     "How about we go for the dish of the day?" Tom points to the chalkboard that

                   describes today's dish: Garganelli pasta with creamy parmesan and egg yolk-
                   sauce, along with fried smoked bacon and crushed black pepper.

                     “Yeah, let's keep it simple. No New-Nordic for me today, mate. ”

                     Tom seems to be in a brilliant mood; it's not just Olina. He is in a white shirt
                   with a pattern she hasn’t seen before, almost a bit summery, and a tie in a silver

                   hue, black jeans and black suede boots. She is herself in her usual, slightly dull

                   everyday wear consisting of jeans, a collar blouse in red with a white pattern at
                   the neck, a pair of ordinary dark brown leather boots and the hair set up in a

                   tuber at the neck.

                     "You look good, and it looks like you're in a good mood, even though we have a
                   lot of big problems on our hands," she says slightly concerned.

                     She hates feeling underdressed, and she really feels that now. It happens to be a

                   scar that she is dragging along with in her mind from her early childhood years
                   as a refugee in Denmark, where she always were wearing second hand clothes.

                     She clearly recalls the large, black bags that were unloaded a couple of times a
                   month at a particular place in the refugee centre that read: Free clothes and
