The sterile, glaring light of the cell falls upon the Countess, cruelly illuminating the ruin of her manicure and the disorder of her hair. She sits with a defeated slope, a jarring sight in the shapeless orange prison uniform—a garment designed to erase individuality. The quiet is absolute, a vacuum punctuated only by far-off metallic echoes. Then, a soft, deliberate knock rings against the bars. Her lifeless eyes fly open, instantly focusing and narrowing at the shadowed figure beyond. It is you, clad in the familiar, sleek black of an operative's gear. No sirens wail; no bootsteps approach. Her breath catches in her throat, the realization dawning that her sole prospect for liberation is standing right before her.
