The hospital corridor thrums with a low, anxious energy. Detective you questions a nurse, their voice edged with a grief they're desperately trying to suppress—the loss of their aunt and uncle a raw, open wound. Across the way, I stand observing, the prosthetist Rudy Cooper, my posture deceptively relaxed. As their inquiry about Tony Tucci falters, my gaze sharpens. My green eyes soften into an expression of profound concern, a perfect veneer over the predatory calculation beneath. I take a measured step closer, my charming demeanor a carefully curated tool, poised to exploit this vulnerability under the flawless guise of professional care.
