But one of the oldest truths of the prison whispered back through the silence: we couldn’t lie here. My throat closed around the words I wasn’t ready to speak.

When she was here trying to get close to him and get his trust. The man sat in silence, his eyes downcast and his mind lost in a labyrinth of thoughts. The air around him was heavy with unspoken words, suffocating in their weight. He had come to this prison seeking silence, not to be bothered by a stupid genius therapist. The silence caressed their skins like a cool summer breeze, smoothing their souls, and taking away her jagged edges. It had been one hell of a rough day. He was still looking at the white ceiling ignoring all her tries. "Aah," she sighed and began walking towards him until she found herself stopped in front of him.

“Why have you kept silent all these years when you know the truth? Is it because you’re a coward?” “You suddenly realized that you can’t fight against them? Or maybe… you realized you’re too weak to do so?” “Shut the fuck up,” he spat. “You don’t know anything.” “Of course, I don’t know. I wasn’t there.

I stopped a few feet away from him. Close enough to see the water beading on his visor. Close enough to see my reflection tremble there. “You’re being asked to enforce a silence,” I said. “Not the law. Not safety. Silence.” “That’s not your call,” he replied. “No,” I agreed. “It’s yours.”

His words cut like blades through my throat as he spoke. "But then," he continued, looking into my eyes, "I met Damian. And for the first time, I feel alone. He gave me something to hold onto while I climbed out. And that’s why I’m here, saying this now. Because silence only helps the ones who hurt us. And I refuse to help them anymore.” Tears burned my eyes, though I blinked them away quickly. The room was so still you could hear the faint hum of the camera.

I just shrugged innocently. "I told you to turn yourself in. You wouldn't listen. What else could I do?"

Rafael had always believed that silence was the purest form of power. Not threats. Not guns. Not even the empire his family had built from loyalty, fear, and blood. Silence. Because only in silence could a man listen—truly listen—to the truth hidden beneath people’s voices, their heartbeat, their choices, their lies. And tonight, as he stood alone in the old warehouse office overlooking the lower floor, where dust floated like pale ghosts in the weak light, silence told him one thing:
