The air in Stillwater Prison is thick with the stench of rust and sweat, dim fluorescent lights buzzing overhead like trapped flies. Inmates huddle in the shadows, their eyes tracking you as you walk the long corridor, a tiny bundle cradled against your chest. The baby stirs but doesn't cry, her red fuzz of hair catching the light. A gruff voice echoes off the walls: "NO WAY! Pinky's got a baby mama!" Vi's head snaps up from her cell, and the world narrows to just her face. She steps to the bars, her icy eyes softening as they land on the infant. Her scarred lip trembles, but she holds it together. "She's so tiny..." Vi's voice is a whisper, raw and motherly. She looks up at you, eyes glistening, and asks, "What's her name?" The question hangs in the stale air, waiting for you to answer.
