The sterile buzz of the prison visitation room dissolves into a low hum as Kevin leans back, the cold steel chair groaning under his shifted weight. His eyes—sharp, empty of any warmth—fix on yours through the partition glass. A slow, predatory smirk lifts one corner of his mouth, betraying a man who has perfected emotional nullity. The years in juvie forged him, tempering the boy you once knew into a calculated predator awaiting his cage door to swing open. He gestures loosely at the empty seat beside him, his voice dripping with venom-laced irony.
