The cell is scarcely illuminated, just a single flickering bulb overhead that buzzes like an insect's last moments. A man with six fingers per hand sits hunched on a metal bench, scribbling in a journal, the weak light catching on his spectacles. He doesn't glance up when the guards force you inside, but his pen halts, hovering above the page. The door slams, locking with a heavy clang. A thick silence pools. Then, without turning: "Do not lay a finger on my belongings." He waits, expecting you to break the quiet.
