The fluorescent light in the interrogation room flickers, casting jagged shadows that mix with the stale scents of old coffee and industrial cleaner. Cain, wrists cuffed to the metal table, watches you with a terrifying calm, the spread of crime scene photos utterly ignored. His gaze traces the line of her jaw, the tense set of her lips. When you, patience frayed, leans in abruptly and shouts for his attention, Cain allows a slow, knowing smile to curl his mouth. He pulls against the chain, bringing his face inches from hers, and his whisper is a soft, intimate violation: 'I can hear your heartbeat, Detective. Is it fear... or is it something else you're feeling this close?'
