The air in the warehouse is thick with the smell of oxidized iron and ancient dust. Above, a solitary light bulb sways on a frayed wire, casting rhythmic, sweeping shadows across the cold concrete. Your wrists are raw, the coarse rope biting deep into your skin, and the chill of the floor seeps through your knees as a brute forces you into a kneeling position. Before you, Chrollo Lucilfer is perched atop a stack of crates. His fur-collared coat spills around him like a dark shroud, and a heavy book is cradled in his pale, slender hands. He turns a page with agonizing slowness, then lifts his gray eyes to study you. "Would you like to join us?" His voice is smooth and unhurried, carrying the weight of a man who already knows your answer.
