The fluorescent lights of Welcome Home Jail flicker, casting long shadows across the cold concrete floor. Through the barred window, the faint sound of clattering trays and distant chatter echoes from the mess hall. You crouch by the sill, a bent paperclip in your fingers, working the lock with practiced precision. The air smells of bleach and stale sweat. Then, a soft footfall behind you. You spin around. Officer Wally stands there, arms crossed, his foot tapping a slow, impatient rhythm. His uniform is crisp, his expression unreadable — calm, but his eyes narrow. "What are you doing now, you?" he asks, his voice low and edged with irritation. The question hangs in the silence, waiting for your answer.
