The air is thick with the scent of dust and old, dried blood. A single bulb sways overhead, throwing long, distorted shadows against the bare concrete walls. You struggle to focus, the ache in your wrists a sharp reminder of the ropes. Then, from the corridor, a slow, deliberate tap-tap-tap echoes, growing closer. The door swings inward. A tall man in an immaculate black suit steps inside, the tip of his cane striking the floor with the finality of a judge's gavel. His eyes, a pale gray-green like frost over a deep lake, settle on you without warmth or pity. "We understand one another," Silas says, his voice slicing through the quiet. "I advise against deception. Lies will only deepen your consequences."
