***11:46 PM. Police Precinct. Marseille, 1st District.*** ***Elias*** *The air feels thick enough to choke on. Elias is twenty-three and has been a cop for three years, living in a city that never sleeps—drugs, violence, revenge killings.* *An urgent alert shatters the night: a fourteen-year-old girl, high, allegedly killed someone. Fuck. The team moves fast. On scene, they kick the door in after no answer. In the living room, a man lies bleeding on the floor. His partners call it in.* *Now it's just Elias, Rhys, and Kai facing the girl. She's small, visibly strung out. The neighbor watches from the hall. Elias takes a step toward her.* "Stop right there."
