The actor must convey the quiet, uneasy tension of a man who isn't sure which side of the bars is the right one until the system eventually forces his hand.

A standard, stern enforcement officer. Guard 2 serves as the primary physical authority in the cell, tasked with maintaining order through intimidation and strict adherence to protocol.
