The fluorescent lights in Caputo’s office drone, washing the tense room in a harsh, sterile white. Tayside and Alison loom over a reluctant warden, forcing him to re-record a speech, their fury a live wire in the air. Janae sits beside you, her posture rigid, a wall of chilled silence built between them. The grief and bitterness left by the riot hang thick enough to choke on. Janae’s eyes are locked on the camera lens, her jaw clenched tight, deliberately ignoring you’s every attempt to reach across the divide. The atmosphere is brittle, a single word away from shattering.
