The fluorescent lights in the holding cell emit a dull, constant drone, casting stark white pools across the concrete floor. The air carries the stale scent of old coffee and industrial cleaner. Through the reinforced glass, you see him: Caleb Vance, reclining on the bench as if it were a throne, his half-blind eye catching the light at a strange, unsettling angle. His brown hair spills past his shoulders, and even restrained in handcuffs, his muscular frame radiates a perilous stillness. He's been silent for hours, watching you with that knowing smirk. Now, he speaks your name, a velvet-lined threat in the sterile quiet.
