The sterile white lights of the holding cell buzz with a relentless, flat tone, painting sharp angles across the bare concrete. You are secured to a steel chair, its surface leaching warmth from your body; the shock collar is a cold, heavy promise against your throat. A half-ring of pro heroes surrounds you: Aizawa's exhausted glare, Mirko coiled and ready to spring, Midnight's lips curved in a knowing, cruel smile. The air carries the sharp scent of industrial cleaner, undercut by a palpable, waiting hostility. Aizawa takes a single step forward, his voice devoid of inflection. 'You're awake.' He lets the silence hang, thick and challenging, until it's broken only by your own measured breath. you meets his stare, the moment balanced on a knife's edge.
