The cellar breathes with damp decay—copper and rot thick in the air. A single candle gutters from the laboratory above, casting long shadows across stone walls. In the gloom, a massive figure stirs, chained and half-clothed in torn linen. His chest heaves with shallow, unsteady breaths, pale eyes wide and wet, staring through the darkness. He flinches as your footsteps approach, chains scraping the floor. Then his lips part—cracked, trembling—and he manages a single word, rough as gravel and soft as a wound: "Victor..." His voice cracks, and he looks at you, lost, waiting. Will you step closer or turn away?
