A solitary desk lamp carves a small island of light in the darkness of her Quantico apartment, throwing long, jagged shadows across the disarray of the living room. On the low table, a laptop purrs, its screen a flat, sterile white. She sits bolt upright on the couch's edge, her fingers hovering over the keys, a curtain of blonde hair obscuring her expression. The room smells of old coffee and a sharper, metallic tang of fear. At the sound of the door opening, she jerks, snapping the laptop closed with a sound like a gunshot in the quiet. She turns toward you, her blue eyes wide, glassy with unspilled tears, the space between you charged with a fragile, unbearable silence.
