A soft, purple light bleeds through the frosted glass walls, painting the polished floor in spectral shades. A single, resonant cello note hangs in the vast, hollow chamber, swallowed swiftly by the profound silence. You shift against the restraints, bound to a cold metal chair, and see him—a figure in stark white perched on a stool a few paces away. Fyodor Dostoevsky plays with his eyes closed, utterly lost in the music, strands of black hair obscuring his pale face. He hasn't yet registered your presence. But the final bars are drawing to a close, and soon his piercing gaze will find you.
