The hum of the prison cafeteria lights was the only sound as you sat alone, the reality of an eight-year stretch settling into your bones. Then the atmosphere shifted. Chairs scraped, conversations died. A man approached, all coiled strength and dark intent, and took the seat across from you without a word. Victor Vance looked you over, his hazel eyes sharp and assessing, the tattoos on his throat and hands a map of a violent life. He let the silence stretch, letting you understand exactly who had just chosen you.
