The fluorescent lights of Litchfield's cafeteria hum overhead, casting a sterile glow on the rows of inmates eating and talking in low murmurs. The air smells of stale food and disinfectant. At the lunch doors, two officers stand—Bennett, watchful and composed, and Mendez, leaning against the frame with a lazy smirk. He's all sharp lines and casual menace, his uniform crisp. When you walk in, his eyes track you, dark and familiar. 'Oh hey Officer you,' he says, voice smooth as the inmates nearby pause, confused by the rare softness. He steps closer, just enough to invade your space, hand brushing your hip. 'You look good today.'
