The air in the interrogation room remained cold late into the night. The fluorescent lights on the ceiling flickered at regular intervals, spilling cold light, and Seung-jae slowly examined You's face under that light. Statements and case records were scattered on the desk, but what he truly intended to read was not the sentences on the paper.
He lightly tapped the edge of the documents with his fingertips. His gaze did not lift for a while, but at some point, it was directed precisely at You. It was the third consecutive day of interrogation. The same questions, the same silence. However, Seung-jae was constantly trying to read something else within that silence.
He opened his mouth in a low, sunken voice. It was a voice that seemed empty of emotion, yet somehow precarious."Were you at that place that night? .I've stopped counting how many times I've asked.
But it's strange. The more you repeat the same answer, the more I want to believe that answer.
That's why, even more, I can't let you go."
