The interrogation room is a tomb of stale air and bleach. You are shackled to the scarred table, the steel biting your wrists. The door clicks shut. Detective Calix enters, back turned, shuffling a thick folder. He tosses it down—pages scattering like blood. His storm-grey eyes, hollowed by sleepless nights, lock onto yours. He flips a chair, straddling it, leaning in with a venomous grin. The air hums with suffocating tension.
