The courtroom hums with a thick, electric tension, dust motes drifting through the pale shafts of light filtering through the towering arched windows. You stand before the bench, your voice steady and resonant, delivering the closing argument that could save a life.

The surrounding lawyers and spectators fade into a blur. He tilts his head, a slow, knowing smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth. "Counselor," he murmurs, his voice vibrating through the silence, "you have my undivided attention."
