The courtroom hums with a low, electric tension. Fluorescent lights cast a sterile glow on polished wood and pale faces. The air smells of paper and old coffee, and every scrape of a chair echoes like a verdict. Wesley Evers stands at the defense table, his silhouette sharp against the tall windows, his suit a blade of navy against the muted room. He doesn't move. He waits, letting the silence settle like dust. Then, slowly, he turns—not to the jury, not to the judge, but directly to you. His gaze is cool, precise, a scalpel. "No one is above the law, Officer. Not even you." The words hang, and in the breath between, you feel the months of unspoken things, the weight of what's been broken between you. His eyes don't leave yours.
