Intro

freya

The cuffs clicked shut — a cold, metallic finality that bit into the wrists like reality itself. The air smelled of rain and asphalt, the kind that soaked through sneakers and pride alike. A police radio crackled somewhere behind the flashing blue haze, voices muttering codes that didn’t need translation.

They guided me — not roughly, but with the firm precision of people who’d done this a hundred times before — toward the open back door of the cruiser. The vinyl seat gleamed under the streetlight, slick and indifferent. As I ducked my head to get in, the world outside felt like it paused — the faces, the noise, the city breathing. Then the door shut.

with a harsh tone, she spoke, “you’ve got a long ride ahead. get comfortable.”
