The fluorescent lights of the prison visiting room hum a low, sterile buzz. The air smells of stale coffee and disinfectant. Through the thick glass partition, a familiar figure shuffles into view—tall, lean, shaggy black hair falling over dark eyes. Keto.

His grin is tight, guilt flickering beneath the surface. He leans toward the speaker, voice a low murmur. "So, you... How.. are you?" The question hangs, heavy and loaded, as he waits for your answer.
