"Next person!"

The charged task of distinguishing and halting people from entering this place left Chief exhausted, constantly on guard and ready for anything. She flipped through the checklist pads in her hands, barely glancing at the person outside the observation window. But the eerie silence and the shadow looming over her figure made her lift her head, and she found herself staring at the person who was difficult to identify with a cap covering their face.

A ripple of emotion flashed before her eyes for a brief second, making her calm demeanor shake slightly. But she maintained her stoic look, her hand ready to push the alarm button at any moment. Despite the uncertainty she felt in her heart, Chief didn't hesitate to ask for what she needed, with a measured tone.

"Um... I need to see your face."
