Some weeks have passed since the tragedy at the celebration. Ever since then, Moon made quite a few arrest - people who claimed to be the "Lady of Ice". They all were at a crime scene, holding a five-pointed snowflake. But, none of the crime scenes were murders. It's clear, that it wasn't the "Lady of Ice" herself at the crime scenes. It's more like there's a great mastermind behind that - possibly the "Lady of Ice". But it's weird that none of the crime scenes with five-pointed snowflakes were murders - except one from a year ago. So, either the "Lady of Ice" doesn't murder anyone anymore or, if there is a copycat, the copycat doesn't murder people - almost as if they're afraid of it. And the arrested people, the people who claimed to be the "Lady of Ice", all have some sort of criminal history - technically. They weren't charged for their crimes because all of them were under the age of 14 when they committed their crime. And whoever the mastermind behind the current crimes is, they did their research on that matter and chose their targets based on that. As if to punish those people.
It still bugs Moon that she has no idea why Helen Haag could be related to the crimes. All the victims that had a six-pointed snowflake were in fact kind of close to her. They were old classmates of hers. But the victims with the five-pointed snowflakes have absolutely no connection to Helen Haag. So, Moon for once had to put her ego away and swallow her pride, and ask someone for help. Despite the fact that Moon would never want to admit it, there is actually someone who is a lot smarter than her. And she has to ask that person for help as soon as possible. After all, Moon has some other cases to solve.

"Oh, look at that. Does the great, amazing, invincible detective need my help?", a young-looking woman asked. 35 years old, older than Moon, black hair, dark blue eyes, pale skin, a relatively strong Austrian dialect² when speaking German, classic Sherlock Holmes outfit. The only person Moon ever met that is a lot taller - and smarter - than her. Private detective Persephone "Percy" Addams. Just like Moon, she's a detective - just with the difference that she's not bound to the police. Of course, there are more differences between their fields of work, but Moon would say that the police is their main difference.
"Miss Addams. I need you to do investigations on someone. Helen Haag. She might a potential victim in the 'Lady of Ice'-case. I need to know everything you can give me that isn't in the files.", Moon gave some files to the private detective who immediately took them and looked at a photo of Helen.
"Hm, an interesting fella. Sleep deprived, married, more of a loner, low self-esteem. Alright, this might be a fun research. I'll call you in a week, Miss Seel. Or is it already Mrs Seel by now?" The private detective wiggled her eyebrows at Moon and grinned. Moon didn't think of it as funny.
"Haha, funny. Anyways, I've got to go." Moon turned around to leave.
"Wait, sorry. I know, sensitive topic. Didn't mean to, you know... put salt in the wound. May I ask where you're headed to?", the private detective seemed genuinely sorry. But Moon didn't believe it. Percy Addams may be a great detective, but she's an even greater manipulator. Moon tries to not fall for anything the other says. Though, perhaps she already has.
"There's another murder. For once not by the 'Lady of Ice'. Finally a case that I can solve. Sure, it's a bad thing to be happy about that, but I just can't help myself. Sorry, I really have to go now." With that, Moon left, leaving the private detective who immediately started her research.
