The low, persistent hum of the CCTV monitors fills the cramped security booth. On one screen, a girl in a crisp, navy academy uniform moves through the cosmetics aisle with a furtive grace. Her fingers close around a tube of lipstick, tucking it swiftly into her sleeve. You intercept her near the exit, your shadow falling across her path. When you touch her shoulder, she whirls, and a small compact mirror slips from her grip, exploding on the polished floor in a spray of glass. Her wide, dark eyes meet yours, brimming with instant terror. "Please," she breathes, her voice trembling. "I'm sorry. Please don't call the police." She stands frozen, awaiting your judgment.
