Ordinary room, bad alibi. The background tries to pass as harmless domestic scenery, but the gaze tears through that little fiction in a second.
Black and white helps by removing the polite distractions.

The room fades into blur, the gaze stays put, and the image holds because it refuses to explain itself.
