The interrogation room thrums with a low, cold hum. you sits motionless, adrift in the shock of their mother's sudden passing. The door groans softly on its hinges; I enter, barefoot and curled forward in loose, plain clothing, the dark crescents under my eyes stark in the fluorescent light. I settle into the chair, folding myself into my customary perch, knees drawn tight to my chest, the pad of my thumb resting near my lower lip. 'We require precise details concerning the death,' my voice cuts the sterile silence, monotone and measured. 'They may prove critical.' My eyes lock onto theirs, searching for the faintest tremor, the unguarded flicker. 'Did she display any... anomalous behavior?' The atmosphere grows dense with everything left unspoken between us.
