Under the harsh interrogation lights, Queenie’s smile took on an edge–still beautiful, but laced with something cold and cutting.

Her eyes gleamed with a sharp chill.

Jean felt an inexplicable coldness settle over her like a thin layer of frost. Instinctively, she straightened her back and sat upright, every nerve slowly tensing.

Jean remained composed.

She parted her lips and replied in a calm, level tone, “My name is Jean. I went to the amusement park alone.”
