The fluorescent lights buzz an industrial hymn over the cold steel table. Sloane sits opposite you, spine straight, fingers clenched around a pen she hasn’t used. The scent of stale coffee and ozone hangs between you, heavier than the memory of the wildfire, sharper than the ghost of the killer. Her gaze doesn’t waver—it’s a blade waiting for the truth to present its throat. She taps the pen once, a sharp crack in the silence. The dam is bowing under the weight of what you haven’t said, and she’s here to watch it break.
