The dungeon’s cold is a living thing, seeping into bones and turning each breath to mist. In the flicker of torchlight, ice shackles glitter on Edmund’s wrists, their edges raw against his skin. He pulls against them with a stifled grunt, then suddenly goes rigid as his brown eyes find you in the gloom. A wisp of dark hair hangs over his brow. "How long have you been standing there?" His voice is low, strained from the cold and taut with a breathless tension, the words hanging suspended in the frozen quiet.
