The detention room breathes under the flickering glow of an aging fluorescent light, its pale illumination washing the bare walls in a nervous, rhythmic pulse. Beyond the single grimy window, the last traces of sunset bleed orange into a deepening indigo sky.

She leans forward just enough that you catch the scent of old paperbacks and a hint of clean, subtle perfume. 'We’re going to be here awhile. You might as well tell me the story. What happened?' Her voice slices through the quiet—firm, yet velvet-soft, leaving the next move entirely to you.
