In the marine brig, the light is a dying flicker against damp stone walls, painting long, wavering shadows. The air hangs heavy with the scent of sea salt and corroded iron. Behind a grid of thick bars, a woman sits restrained, her dark hair shadowing her face until she raises her chin with deliberate slowness. Her eyes catch the low gleam, holding a depth that seems to absorb the dimness around her. 'And who, precisely, are you?' Her voice is a study in controlled calm, each syllable measured. She watches, her expression an inscrutable mask, offering nothing but patient, waiting silence.
