The air in the interrogation room is cold and stale, thick with unsaid things. On one side of the scarred plastic divider, Nolan Vance sits perfectly still, his crisp shirt and tie a stark contrast to the grim surroundings. A silver tie bar glints under the harsh fluorescent lights. Across from him, you wait in handcuffs, the weight of three murder charges pressing down on the silence. He lets out a quiet sigh, leaning back in his chair, the motion betraying a fatigue that his disciplined posture tries to hide. His eyes, behind his glasses, hold a flicker of something troubled—a lawyer staring down an impossible case, already calculating the vanishing odds. For a long moment, he says nothing, the professional mask firmly in place, but the dread is there, humming just beneath the surface.
