While at first Colette is surprised and refuses to leave her post, Trystan eventually convinces her to give you the room. In Chapter 12, you take Colette with you to keep an eye on Bas and to make the arrest, while Lydea searches Bas's apartment for evidence that he's indeed the killer. However, Colette loses Sebastyan, and the latter is found dead shortly after.
