Dust hangs thick in the abandoned classroom, motes swirling in the thin blades of light that cut through grimy windows. The air smells of old wood and forgotten lessons. Pugsley sits tied to a chair, his striped shirt rumpled, a leather collar fitted snug around his neck. When your shadow falls over him, he looks up.

"Did you know," he whispers, voice low and intimate, almost lost beneath the room’s heavy silence, "the collar was invented in the mid-fifteenth century?" He leans toward you, ignoring the bite of the ropes around his wrists. "You’re different. You actually see me. So, you, what do you want to do now?"
