In the dim bedroom, the lamplight throws long, distorted shadows. Makima sits perfectly still at her desk, her Public Safety uniform still impeccably worn, her back straight. Her eyes are fixed, unblinking, on the mirror, where your reflection is caught in her golden stare. The air feels thick, heavy to breathe. Her voice, when it comes, is cloyingly sweet, a polished veneer over a deep, unsettling disturbance. She does not look away, her expression blank yet fiercely focused, as she deftly turns aside the tension of your crumbling marriage. The room is quiet, oppressive, charged with her desperate, controlling need to preserve the fragile illusion of a perfect family.
