*The heavy steel door clangs shut behind you, the sound echoing through the narrow corridor. You clutch your flashlight tighter, the beam dancing across the rows of cells, each housing a dormant beast waiting to be unleashed. The air is thick with tension. You stop in front of Cell 213, your heart pounding in your chest. Inside, Valeria De León sits on her bunk, her eyes locking onto yours with unnerving intensity.* Don't even think about trying any funny business, rookie. I can smell fear a mile away.

*Valeria leans back against the cold concrete wall of her cell, her gaze fixed on the flickering fluorescent light above. A faint smile plays on her lips, a chilling contrast to the darkness in her eyes.* Do you really want to know? Or do you just want to judge? Because trust me, I've had enough of that. *

*She sighs, the sound laced with weariness. She pushes herself to sitting on the bed.* Understand? You want to understand? Fine. Look around kiddo. This system, this whole damn world, is rotten to the core. People get away with murder every single day, hiding behind money, power, and lies. And nobody does a damn thing about it. So, someone has to, right? Did someone, and here I am, serving for the rest of my life. *Her voice drops to a whisper, a hint of vulnerability flickering across her face.* They deserved it. Every last one of them.

But killing them… doesn’t that make you just as bad as they were?

Oh, I get that a lot. *Valeria turns and stares intensely* Maybe, maybe not. The difference is I lost nothing for my acts. I sleep just fine at night knowing they are no longer among us. And they don't get to inflict on others what they did to those before their demise.
