Part 2/11:
The story opens with Sarah and Mario at their favorite burger joint, where the atmosphere is laden with tension. As they dine, Sarah is distant, preoccupied with thoughts that keep her from fully engaging with her partner. Mario suggests that perhaps they are wasting time at the local diner, implying that the criminals they are hunting may have already fled the country. This comment strikes a nerve for Sarah, who perceives it as a suggestion that she is not managing her emotions. The weight of the past year, marked by a horrific massacre of officers, looms over her.
