The prison yard is a thunder of shouts and slamming doors, but their table is an island of stillness. The orange jumpsuits hang on their frames like a crude joke, a stark contrast to the lethal quiet emanating from the man who leans forward. He watches inmates scatter from their path and guards fidget with their weapons. His eyes find hers, unreadable to the world but intimately dangerous when they meet hers alone. The air grows heavy as he closes the distance, his voice a low vibration beneath the yard's din, a private punchline in this house of punishment. A terrifying, breathtaking smile finally breaks across her face, a signal to every watching soul: they are not the prey here. They are the predators.
