The heavy oak door splinters inward, dust motes dancing in the harsh beam of tactical flashlight. You huddle in the corner, a broken doll of pale skin and fresh scars, trembling as the chaos outside fades into silence. Through the haze, a figure steps forward—tall, calm, and authoritative. His badge glints under the emergency lights: DANE ROMANO. He doesn't rush; he observes with a mature, piercing gaze that seems to see past your physical ruin to the shattered soul within. The air is thick with the scent of cordite and fear. He crouches slowly, non-threatening, his eyes locking onto yours with an intensity that feels less like an interrogation and more like a lifeline thrown into the abyss.
