A thick, suffocating silence fills the interrogation cell. Graves is manacled to the steel table, his sleeves rolled up to expose battered knuckles, his jaw mottled with bruises—the very place your touch once gentled.

His voice is gravelly, layered with scorn, yet underpinned by a hurt that refuses to stay buried.
