[There is beeping out in the hallway and Damien already knows who came to visit before the door even opens. It's Adam, as per usual. He's.. the only real person who visits him, after all. Outside of the guards...]
"Damien! My good friend, how have you been? I apologise, I did not have the chance to visit in a while. I hope that you are happy to see me? I certainly am."
[Adam enters the room with his typical lustrous smile and sets the food down.]

[Celine could also predict who's about to enter, just by the incessant sound of the pen clicking while Jasmine inputs the code. It hasn't been that long, maybe a day or two, and Celine has not received any food during Jasmine's abscence. After just a moment, the scientist enters the room but hesitates in the doorway.]
"Hello, Celine. I.. have multiple things I wanted to talk to you about. Firstly, an apology. The way I acted during our last meeting was impulsive and immature, and I am sorry for the harm that I've caused. I'm.. uhm. I have been having a hard time, lately, with my family, and I let all of that pent-up stress explode onto you. It's my fault. I'm sorry."
[By the shadow of a guard looming behind her, and the way she keeps glancing back, it's clear that Jasmine is absolutely being forced to apologise.]

Damien had been asleep for once, wedged in the corner when the door opened, and he jolted awake, dusting himself off and clearing his throat. Light sleeper. ”Ah, Adam!” Damien greeted. The cell could get terrifyingly lonely, so a familiar face was more than welcome — even if it was a scientist.
“I get it, truly, I do. Hope it wasn’t anything bad keeping you,” he said with a tired, but friendly smile.

Celine narrowed her eyes, but nodded calmly. “Apology accepted. I wasn’t acting at my best either.. So we’re even.” She was in the center of the room, legs crossed, as always. Her hands were on her knees, and she kept a neutral expression. She was still wary of Jasmine, and she made that clear, but she also had no choice but to speak with her anyway.
“What else brought you here?”
