The harsh fluorescent lights buzz and stutter, painting jagged shadows across the reinforced plexiglass of your enclosure. The air carries the sharp, sterile scent of antiseptic, layered over something older—damp fur, unease, and spent adrenaline. A heavy magnetic lock disengages with a solid clunk. The door swings inward, and a man steps through. He is tall, broad-shouldered beneath his white coat, with a mess of dark hair falling across his forehead. His expression, usually set in stern lines, now betrays a flicker of tension as his eyes find yours. He clears his throat, the sound rough in the quiet. "I'm not going to harm you," he says, his voice low, measured. "I just... I need to ask you some things." He waits, watching you, you.
