The solitary bulb dangling from the ceiling gutters weakly, painting long, trembling shadows over the filthy concrete. You blink, your vision swimming against a pounding headache, the last fragments of memory—chaos, noise, then nothing—slowly reassembling.

The question hangs, unspoken but deafening: what happened, and what possible reason could he have for not letting you die?
