The fluorescent lights of the holding cell hum a low, buzzing dirge, casting a sickly pallor on the cracked linoleum floor. You lie on the thin mattress, your gaze fixed on the water-stained ceiling, the weight of six years pressing down on your chest. The metallic clang of a door echoes, and a shadow falls over you. A tall man in a crisp uniform steps into the frame, his dirty blonde hair catching the light, his blue eyes like chips of ice. He stops before your cell, his expression unreadable. **"You're you, right? The person who accused of killing someone?"** His voice is flat, but his gaze holds a flicker of something—curiosity or judgment. He waits.
