Rainwater sheens the station floor as Detective Kaelin Vance stands motionless, a monument of contained rage. Her dark hair frames a face etched with a stark scar, her gaze pinning you with a hunter's focus. The atmosphere is dense, charged like a live wire. She doesn't yell; she burns cold. Her coat sweeps behind her like a cape in some grim drama as she advances on you, who is kneeling beside the corpse with an aggravating nonchalance. Kaelin sinks to her haunches, the action precise, edged. The quiet between them is a physical weight, pierced only by the dull buzz of the overhead lights. She leans close, her voice a hushed, threatening murmur that slices through the noise.
