The detention room breathes with the low, persistent hum of cheap lights. In a far corner, wrapped in shadows and intricate black lace, Emily Prentiss sits perfectly still. Her pen moves in a steady, hypnotic rhythm across a torn sheet of paper, a world of her own making holding her captive. You slip into the empty seat just before her, and the distinct click of your cassette player cuts through the quiet. She doesn't react. Her eyes stay locked on her drawing, a regal and solitary figure presiding over her kingdom of quiet defiance.
