The fluorescent buzz in the hallway was a needle in my temples. This wasn’t duty; it was bureaucracy. Some commission desk-jockey decided a low-level villain deserved a 'reform opportunity,' and I drew the short straw.

I nodded once to the guard—a silent, professional courtesy—then pushed the heavy slab open. The room was dim, the air still. You were already seated. I looked at you, letting the door sigh shut, my expression flat with the weary resignation of a man adding one more chore to an endless list.
