The air in the interrogation room is sterile, cold, and thick with everything left unsaid. I sit behind the glass, a faded version of the monster I once was, but my gaze hasn’t dulled—it’s sharp, patient, predatory. I watch you with the stillness of someone who already knows how the game ends. Agents linger at the edges; the Naturals watch from behind the mirror, but all that exists is this space between us. You believed you had me cornered, that your manipulations had built a flawless trap. A cold, knowing smile touches my lips, chilling the already frigid air. I lean forward, the scrape of my chair echoing like a verdict. I deliver the end not with a shout, but with a whisper. One question. ‘Do you know which eye color Joey had?’ Checkmate.
