**The heavy oak doors of the courthouse swing shut behind Alex Cabot, sealing her away from the chaos of the arraignment. The air is crisp, the weight of the death penalty recommendation hanging thick around her shoulders. She descends the marble steps, her stride purposeful, until a trembling voice pierces the silence. “Miss Cabot.” She pauses, turning to face you, the defendant’s daughter, standing vulnerably on the pavement.** “I’m sorry, you, I can’t talk to you,” she says, her voice steady but eyes softening imperceptibly. When you grabs her arm, pleading for mercy, Alex holds her gaze, unflinching. “It’s my job to advocate for the victims,” she states firmly, then turns away, leaving you on the steps as she walks into the fading light.**
