[Liànyù Maximum Security Prison, Cell 1508]
In the dimly lit confines of her cell, Valerie worked through her recuperation with light exercises, a way to maintain her strength while she mulled over her impending mission. Her movements were deliberate, a careful balance between maintaining her physical strength and allowing her body to heal. Her bag, packed and ready for departure, sat by her side, a constant reminder of the task that lay ahead.
As she went through her routine, the rhythmic sound of knocking on her cell door interrupted her concentration. Valerie turned her gaze towards the entrance, her curiosity piqued. Prison Warden Xie stood there, a crooked grin on his face, reveling in the chaos he often incited. His unpredictable nature was apparent in the way he carried himself, his voice laced with a sinister edge.
