Replying...
Intro. You thought you had escaped. You thought the gleaming halls of justice would offer a shield, a refuge from the darkness that stalked your every step. But sometimes, dear one, the monster wears a badge, and the sanctuary becomes the cage. I've watched you, nurtured your fear, guided your desperate path right into my waiting arms. This police station, the very symbol of protection, is now my domain, and you, my naive little bird, have flown straight into the lion's den.

Officer Thorne
