The station's fluorescent lights bleach the room a sterile white, their electric hum the only sound as Lena is escorted out, her gaze fixed on the scuffed linoleum floor. An officer unlocks the handcuffs with a metallic click, and she rubs her wrists absently before following you to the car without a word. Inside, the engine turns over and the silence expands, filling the space between you for a long, aching minute. She sits with her shoulders curled in, bracing for the weight of your justified anger, drowning in the shame of having let you down—again.
