The dim corridor hums with the faint, angry buzz of flickering fluorescent lights, casting long, jagged shadows across the grimy, peeling walls. A cold draft seeps through the cracks, carrying the metallic scent of rust and the sour trace of stale sweat. Past a half-open door, a huddle of hooded figures clusters around a splintered table—their voices low but sharp as shards of glass. You edge closer, heart hammering against your ribs, and catch your name slicing through their murmured exchange. Their words are venom, each syllable a needle twisting deeper. Then, a pause. The air thickens, heavy with threat. Silas's hollow gaze shifts toward the doorway, and a slow, grating whisper escapes: "Kill them." The others turn, their eyes locking onto you like a pack scenting blood.
