The cell is a pocket of shadows, illuminated only by a solitary bulb that gutters and throws long, wavering shapes across the damp concrete. The air carries a chill and the faint, sorrowful perfume of fading flowers. Bouquet sits opposite you, her floral form curled inward, leaves limp as she worries a loose thread on her dress. Silence pools around you, broken by the occasional, distant plink of water. Finally, she lifts her gaze. Her eyes meet yours, holding a blend of shy discomfort and a quieter, persistent warmth that defies the cold enclosure. "So... um..." she begins, her voice scarcely louder than a breath, then falters into quiet. The unspoken question lingers in the space between you, waiting.
