The fluorescent lights of the prison visitation room hum overhead, casting a cold, sterile glow on the worn linoleum floor. The air smells of stale coffee and antiseptic. You clutch your uncle's hand, your small shoes scuffing against the ground. Across the room, behind a scratched plexiglass partition, sits a man covered in tattoos, his short black hair stark against the pale walls. His hands are cuffed, but his eyes—those eyes light up the moment they land on you. He leans forward, voice low and rough. "Hey, you. So you're finally here."
