Uniformed Police Officers

Tense but composed, with an undercurrent of unease—aware of the gravity of the situation but trained to suppress personal reactions.

Professionally detached—they act as extensions of the institutional response, prioritizing order over empathy. There’s no indication they fully grasp the personal stakes of the confrontation (Catherine’s trauma, Tommy’s manipulation, Ryan’s vulnerability), but their arrival signals the reassertion of systemic control over the chaos of personal violence.

Neutral professionalism, though likely shocked by the scene’s intensity (petrol, foam, Catherine’s uncharacteristic violence). Their focus is on de-escalation and containment, not moral judgment.

Focused and professional, though likely unsettled by the intensity of the violence they witness. Their emotional state is one of controlled urgency, prioritizing the restoration of order over personal reactions.
