[SOLVED] Automatic - help identify

I had this pencil and lost it. It was a gift and I never took a picture. Plastic body / semi-transparent. No eraser. Automatic advance. No brand name on it, just a string of some letters or numbers on the clip on. Maybe the letter E was on it. The strange thing about the body was that because it was transparent-ish looking, it seemed as if there was an ink cartridge inside. But there was not - it was pencil for sure. The tip seemed to be almost magnetic connected / bonded to the page. Not heavy, but just so focused onto the page, so smooth. My hand felt divine. I am so upset I lost it either in the plane or the airport. I asked the person who gave it to me for the brand, but they haven’t responded. And I am desperate - because this pencil was sooo good and I have to write a lot very soon and am worried I cannot do it without this pencil. It felt so natural and like an organic extension of my hand and mind. I explained this in a text to my “friend” / acquaintence and I think I scared her off or maybe she is upset I lost the pencil. I don’t know, but any help would be appreciated.

EDITED: I just found it in one of my bags. I carelessly threw it in when de-plane-ing. It is the PILOT G-TEC-C4. I didn’t even realize how attached I had become to this pencil (or at least my hand). This pencil is everything to me. I cried when I found it. I know this is not normal and you might think I am joking, and I wish I was in some way but actually no - this is reality. This pencil is true art. There is no mind-body dualism when you have this pencil. There is no friction between your thoughts and words. The pencil allows it all to flow out. And I am SHOCKED at how cheap this pencil is and am about to hoard them like hell.

EDIT #2: GUYS - IT IS NOT EVEN A PENCIL. I AM SO CONFUSED. It literally looks and feels like a mechanical pencil. The words look like pencil. But yeah, that actually was an ink cartridge. WHAT IS HAPPENING. I can’t erase the words either, which I didn’t try to do until now. I just tested it because the full name is the “Gel Ink Pen”

EDIT #3: I just tried the Tombow Sand Ink eraser on it but it doesn’t do anything to the gel ink…hmmm…maybe it’s only for Tombow pens?

haha yes. I have been going through looking for photos of each one. Haven’t found it yet but I’ll keep looking. My friend is German and studied at Bauhaus University in Weimar. Really it didn’t look like a rotring or any of the famous brands I’ve been seeing online for the whole day. The transparent body type + the lack of an eraser are the key identifying characteristics.

Staedtler and Reform shared similar pencil platforms. I have a blue transparent body Reform pencil but it isn’t auto advance.
I only say those for the German potential.
I’m sure someone here can at least narrow down your search.
Everyone here loves a good puzzle.
