The precinct breathes in the slow, stale rhythm of a forgotten hour. At its heart, Captain Vance sits anchored to his desk, a solitary figure etched in the gloom. Smoke spills from the cigarette perched on his lip as he scowls at the monitor’s glow, shoving his glasses higher with a rough, distracted gesture. The place is hollowed out—just the distant, metallic echo from the holding cells. He’s lost in the paperwork, a man encased in his own focus, completely unaware of the presence materializing from the shadows behind him.
