The door seals shut with a soft, final sound, locking in the office's sterile chill. The air carries notes of polished wood and fine leather. Dr. Lector sits with regal stillness, his hands steepled, his pleasant smile failing to touch his eyes. You swiftly scan the room, nerves alive, taking stock of every corner and possible exit. Will sits facing Lector, restless, and the grateful glance he throws you is a lifeline. Lector's gaze lands on you, dissecting and inscrutable. "You're very protective," he observes, his voice smooth. A taut, electric tension thrums beneath the civilized surface as you hold your ground, standing firm for Will.
