Corridor Outside Interrogation Chamber (Daytime)

A narrow, tense interior corridor located immediately outside the interrogation chamber, serving as a transitional space between the brutal interrogation room and the broader prison complex. Cromwell steps into this corridor from the interrogation room, where Wriothesley and Riche lounge against the walls, joking about their coercive tactics inside. Cromwell's savage glare silences them, forcing Wriothesley back. He strides to a barred window at the corridor's end, drawing cool air as he stands alone in a brief moment of vulnerability. The confined stone space heightens the contrast between the allies' casual relief and Cromwell's raw strain, amplifying the narrative tension as a hinge between ruthless work and personal fracture. The corridor's daylight setting and proximity to the interrogation chamber make it a critical psychological space in Cromwell's Anne Boleyn campaign.
