"State your name."
The girl's eyes are glazed over. "Kaisee Alguaciles-Cardoso."

"State your species."
Her head lifts a little at that.

Another pause follows her response.

Her mouth twitches. "Why are you asking me these questions?"

"Please, let me see her."
The guard seems to look through me. "We cannot complete that request."
"You know that I can communicate with her if you just let me. She's my guardian!" 
The guards flinch at my voice. "If you do anything out of line we are ordered to bring you straight to the black box."
I groan and bring myself to the darkened glass. "I waited my entire life for her. I'm not going anywhere."
