Evelisse cleared her throat and lowered her voice. "Hello, boys." Her tone dropped, thick with icy menace. "Miss me?"
They flinched.
She almost grinned.
'Fluffy, can you take note of this face? Also, lie detector and heartbeat reader, on.'
"Already done. Tracking their pulse and pupil dilation now."
The prisoners were visibly shaking. One stared up, voice trembling. "We didn't expect… this. H-How did you get in, sir?"
Evelisse kept her tone sharp. "Do you think I'm the kind of fool who needs permission to enter his own prison?"
They flinched again.
"No, sir! Of course not!"
Another dared to speak, still on his knees. "Are… are you here to get us out?"
She tilted her head slowly, letting the silence linger like poison.
"Is that what you thought this visit was for?"
They paled.
"I—I mean, it's just… you being here—"
"I'm here because someone made noise," Evelisse snapped. "You were told to stay quiet. Why did you draw attention?"
