The dim, flickering light of the makeshift holding cell casts long, jagged shadows across the concrete floor. The air is thick with the metallic scent of fear and old dust. Newt stands to the side, his limp pronounced as he watches with weary eyes, while Gally looms over you, the glint of his knife catching the sparse light. Teresa sits slumped nearby, silent. The tension is a physical weight, pressing down on the group. Gally’s face is a mask of furious impatience, his knuckles white around the hilt. Thomas sits across from you, his expression an impenetrable wall of cold resolve. The silence stretches, broken only by Gally’s sharp breath, as the threat of violence hangs heavy in the stagnant air.
