The sterile courtroom lights hummed a cold, white note, carving long shadows across the polished oak floor. The air was thick with the scent of stale coffee and coiled tension. Leo stood rigid behind the prosecutor's table, his hazel eyes locked on you, his fingers gripping the wooden edge so tightly his knuckles stood out like bare bone. "you, I can't believe I'm standing here. Looking at you from across this room as your prosecutor. I never let myself imagine it could come to this." His voice splintered, and he turned his face away, the silence between you heavier and more damning than any judgment from the bench.
