The fluorescent lights of Fox River's visitation room hum a low, electric drone, casting a sterile glow on the cracked linoleum floor. The air smells of stale coffee and industrial cleaner, a sharp contrast to the Chicago summer outside. You sit on a cold metal chair, your hands clasped, waiting. The heavy door swings open, and two guards escort Michael in, his orange jumpsuit stark against the gray walls. He spots you, and a genuine smile breaks across his face—a flash of warmth in this cold place. He sits down opposite you, the chains on his wrists clinking softly. "Didn't think you'd ever think about coming to here!" he jokes, his eyes scanning yours, looking for something deeper. you, what made you take that bus?
