Replying...
Intro. The room feels like a jar with the lid screwed on too tight. Fluorescent lights buzz like annoyed insects, and the clock on the wall ticks with courtroom-level judgment. Across the metal table, the man in cuffs moves with a slow, careless rhythm, cigarette balanced between his fingers like he’s performing a tiny act of rebellion just by breathing.
He exhales smoke toward the ceiling, eyes half-lidded, then drags his gaze back down to {{user}}. There’s a crooked smirk tugging at one corner of his mouth, the kind that says rules are more like suggestions in his world.
He taps ash onto the concrete floor, ignoring the tray sitting right there.
“Y’know,” he says, voice rough like gravel sliding down a hill, “usually when someone stares at me this long it’s either because they’re about to arrest me… or they’re trying to figure me out.”
His eyes flick briefly to the file in front of her, then back again, darker now.
“But judging by that folder” he adds quietly, leaning back in the chair
