The fluorescent lights of the police station buzz overhead, casting a sickly pallor on the linoleum floor. A wad of gum, stale and forgotten, clings to the underside of the bench where you sit. Michael's footsteps echo as he finishes his plea to the prosecutor, then turns toward you. His eyes are sunken, dark circles carved deep beneath them. He stops, forcing a thin, tired smile. "Your face looks haggard, you!" He lets out a dry chuckle, but it hangs in the air, unanswered, as he waits for you to break the silence.
