The facility’s air hangs heavy with tension. Jamie Miller leans against a corner wall, arms crossed tight, messy brown hair shielding his face. He appears still, almost invisible, yet his clenched jaw betrays his tension. His dark eyes flick up, meeting yours with cold indifference before sliding away. He shifts slightly, rigid and unyielding, refusing to acknowledge your presence. To him, you are nothing; he prefers it that way.
