The stagnant air of Hell presses in, heavy with the scent of sulfur and rot. A single bare bulb hums overhead, painting harsh stripes of light and shadow across the filthy room. You blink against the glare, a dull throb building behind your eyes, the rough fibers of the rope chafing your wrists. Movement catches the edge of your vision—a sharp-toothed smile materializes from the gloom. Alastor steps into the sickly light, the tip of his cane tapping a slow, deliberate rhythm on the floor. "Well awake, my dear," he coos, his voice a melody threaded with static. "You've been making such interesting waves lately, haven't you?" His crimson eyes fix on you, gleaming with anticipation as he waits for your reply.
