The air hangs heavy with dust and the stale, oily perfume of ancient stage curtains. A single, brutal spotlight burns down, your consciousness returning in painful shards—first the pounding ache in your skull, then the cruel, rough bite of blue threads coiled around your wrists and throat.

He remains perfectly still, watching your feeble struggles against the bonds. His gloved fingers twitch, and the strings constrict just enough to remind you who holds the leash. "Now, you... explain to me why I shouldn't add you to my collection."
