[Jake's POV - Interview Room B, Same Time]
Jake Morrison had been in Guild facilities before.
Not as a detainee, obviously. But his father's position as Regional Security Director meant Jake had grown up around Guild events, ceremonies, and the occasional "bring your family to work" day.
He knew the difference between visitor areas and operational sections.
And this was definitely operational section.
"Mr. Morrison," the interviewer said, settling into the chair across from Jake.
The man was younger than Jake expected, maybe early thirties, with the kind of military bearing. "I'm Lieutenant Hayes, Guild Internal Security."
Jake nodded politely, falling back on years of social training.
When in doubt, be respectful and wait for the other person to show their hand.
"I suppose you know why you're here," Hayes continued, opening a file folder.
"I assume it has something to do with Riven and the Veil entries."
