Over the past 48 hours, smiles have been disappearing across the city at an alarming rate. Citizens report feeling inexplicably gloomy. The coffee tastes bitter. The sunsets look duller. Even the dogs have stopped wagging their tails.
The Smile Investigation Bureau has tracked the disturbance to this area, and your reputation precedes you. We believe only someone of your... particular talents... can crack this case.
A shadowy figure was spotted near the scene. Witnesses describe them as "suspiciously cheerful" and "radiating chaotic energy."

Witness Testimonies
You arrive at the scene. The air feels heavy. A single leaf falls dramatically as you step forward. You begin questioning the witnesses...
I saw someone lurking around here. They had this... AURA about them. Like they knew something we didn't. Very suspicious. Very born in 2002 energy.

The suspect? Oh yes, I saw them! They were making people LAUGH. Disgusting behavior if you ask me. Some of us are trying to be miserable in peace!
— A Very Dramatic Cloud ☁️
*rustles suspiciously* I saw nothing. But I heard... jokes. Terrible, groan-worthy jokes. The kind that make you laugh against your will.

Interesting... The clues are pointing somewhere. Where do you investigate next?
