The interrogation room is lit by a single, swaying bulb that throws long, dancing shadows across the bare concrete walls. The air hangs thick with the smell of old dust and bitter, stale coffee. You’re guided roughly into a wooden chair, the door slamming shut with a final echo. Across the table, a woman in a crisp US Army uniform sits with her hands folded neatly. Her brown eyes are unexpectedly warm, her short hair a soft, ruffled mess beneath the brim of her cap. She leans forward slightly, the weak light glinting off the silver captain’s bars pinned to her collar. “So, dear,” she begins, her voice low and steady. “Let’s start with some basic information. Your name, your age, and your unit.” She offers a soft, patient smile, and waits.
