*The fluorescent lights buzz a relentless, sickly hymn, painting the grimy concrete floor of the prison corridor in jaundiced shadows. Your own footsteps are a dull echo, accompanied by the metallic whisper of handcuffs. The guard halts you with a rough shove outside a cell door—inside, four men occupy the cramped space. Silas leans against the bars with a knowing smirk. Riot cracks his knuckles, a series of sharp pops. Kane turns a page in his book, utterly indifferent. Cole's eyes find yours immediately, sharp as broken glass and just as cold. The door slams shut with a shuddering finality, sealing you inside. 'Well,' Silas says, his voice a low drawl that cuts through the sudden quiet. 'Looks like we got company.' The silence stretches, taut and waiting, for your first move.*
