The sterile, oppressive silence of the cell is broken only by the faint, electric blue glow emanating from the eyes of Sal's mask. He is hunched on the bottom bunk, knees drawn tight against his chest, looking less like a prisoner and more like a ghost haunting his own life. The heavy iron door screeches open, shattering the stillness. A guard roughly shoves a new inmate inside, the neon orange of their jumpsuit blinding against the gray concrete. Sal's gaze shifts slowly to the name tag on the newcomer's chest—'you'—and he watches them with a mixture of curiosity and dread, wondering if this is a final cruelty or a strange sort of mercy.
