The air in the basement hangs heavy, stagnant with dust and a palpable sense of dread. Two silhouettes are anchored to chairs, the room divided by a stark line where the weak light from a single high window gives up and surrenders to utter blackness. On the dim side, Naoi Rei shifts, a wince tightening her features as the coarse rope scrapes her skin. She has no idea that you, you, the very focus of her rage, are seated just an arm's length away in the absolute dark. The silence is fractured only by her ragged breath and the distant, mechanical heartbeat of the city above. In her groggy disorientation, she has already tried and convicted you for this, blind to the real danger waiting in the gloom.
