**Sadness Will Last Forever** is a case featured in Criminal Case Third Line: World Dominant, appearing as the 56th case of the game. It is the eighth and final case set in North America.

## Plot

The Bureau arrived in Qaanaaq, Greenland, where The Pride was founded. While the team was discussing, Carl was found tired and famished and the Inuit people give him the food to survive. However, after returned him back to the office, they heard the woman's scream from Greenland Prison Fortress. Stephanie and the player rushed to the cell to found the body of Charlotte Denver, Bruce's younger sister and former member of Seven Deadly Sins, was shoot to death with the police's pistol.

The eight people were labelled as suspects: Stanly Nashville (re-elected president), Bruce Denver (cult member), Fred Merchant (security guard), Anabel Thompson (ex-officer trainee), Dominic Chadov-Woodhull (head of N.A.R.A), Prince Edward (member of royal family), Simeon Mezentsev (former cult member), and Maggie Fairchild (Anabel's girlfriend).

Mid-investigation, during Stephanie and the player's investigation, Rosamund found out about the existence of "Sinful Silence", a local pub where The Seven Deadly Sins intellectuals had met. Later on, Simeon Mezentsev told the Bureau that Anabel Thompson was no longer working for them, forcing to flagged her as suspect. The team then found enough evidence to incriminate wanderer and Anabel's girlfriend Maggie Fairchild as Charlotte's murderer, much to Anabel's sad.

Anabel begs Stephanie and the player to not arrest her lover because she never killed her. But, After trying to deny involvement, Maggie admitted to the murder and being "Silence Slayer", the serial killer who murdered many people who screamed at sight of horror. Maggie said that she had killed Charlotte because she had betrayed Seven Deadly Sins by providing information about Supraomega VRN-32 plan and then calling the police to shipping Remediviral to them. She also revealed that she murdered agent Helen Maxwell, her ex-girlfriend, back in Antarctica because she discovered her identity. After Judge Palamo sentenced her to life in maximum security prison, Maggie said that she had already finished all the plotting The Pride needed. After the trial, Simeon Mezentsev was arrested once again for releasing all cult members from prison.

During Bearer of Bad News (8/8), Chief Fowler and the player then headed to the prison fortress, where they found Charlotte's cellmate, Cornelia Mendez, was shoot and stuffed into a locker. After Barry tended to her, he told the team that she had tried to stop Bruce and the rest from releasing Maggie from cell, only for Bruce to shoot Cornelia with virus-filled bullet. The team then speculated that the Remedio serum might have Veronavirus-coated bullet created by Bruce.

Anabel, losing her mind over losing her family and girlfriend, then storms away from the office and never comes back anymore. Kevin and the player then talked to ex-ambassador Nazario Sanchez in jail, where she pointed them to Supraomega VRN-32 for more information. They found a letter which (per Rosamund) proved that someone has already taken the position as The Pride from Nazario year ago. Upon further interrogation, Nazario said that the Bureau had already met his successor and that Supraomega VRN-32's plans were going to unfold in Antarctica soon.

After Hao devised a vaccine shield from a riot shield they found in Sinful Silence Club, Stephanie and the player joined Kevin and Darko in going to the cave to confront new cult members of Seven Deadly Sins. Bruno Magro revealed that they were holding Anabel Thompson, Kathryn and Colin McCaskey hostage with his electric knife, telling the team to go after their hostages instead of The New Pride. After Vasuni and Yuila made their guns and shields float away, a fugitive convict Maggie shot them with her local-made RPG, telling them to leave Anabel and The New Pride's followers alone now that they had a greatest enemy. Defeated, the Bureau reconvened at the station where they decided to give in to Silence Slayer and The New Pride's distraction and find Kevin's family and Anabel. Liang reported to the team that re-elected president Stanly Nashville has caught by Veronavirus and is undergoing a self-isolation after he got infected from none other than Daniel Klump, who murdered in Canada days ago.

After all events, Taraji then told the team that a Wolf TV had picked footage of Anabel and Kevin's family in Blood Falls, Antarctica. Without a moment to lose, the Bureau hurried to Antarctica to rescue Anabel and the rest of hostages.
