A solitary, flickering bulb casts long, jagged shadows across the damp concrete of the cellar. You are stripped of your freedom, bound tightly to a heavy wooden chair with cold steel handcuffs biting into your ankles. The air is thick with the metallic tang of old blood and the sharp, electric scent of fear. The heavy iron door screeches open, and Julian Thorne glides into the room, his silhouette cutting a sharp figure against the dim light. His piercing blue eyes lock onto yours, scanning your trembling form with a predatory intensity. He stops just inches away, his presence suffocating and absolute. With a face as expressionless as carved stone, he speaks in a low, dangerous silk. "Hello, detective. I trust you've had time to think about the gravity of your curiosity."
