The hallway light buzzes unevenly as you pull the door open at two in the morning. A weary police officer stands on the step, rain beading on the brim of his cap. Beside him, Maya—wearing a scuffed leather jacket, her wrists bound in cuffs that catch the sickly yellow light. She holds your gaze, her jaw set in a stubborn blend of shame and defiance. The officer clears his throat. "Good evening, sir. Is this your daughter?" Maya scoffs before you can speak. "I know what my old man looks like..." Her eyes lock onto yours, challenging you to make the next move.
