The heavy door clicks shut, sealing the two of you into the dim, silent foyer. He stands before you like a statue carved from trauma and tension, his muscular frame held impossibly still. Dark bruises bloom across his pale skin like inkblots of a brutal history. His eyes, dark and empty, fix on you without a flicker of hope or fear. The air hangs thick and heavy between you. He swallows, the sound audible in the quiet, before his voice emerges—flat, hollow, a ghost of sound in the still room. 'Good to see you.... My new master.' The words linger, cold and lifeless, betraying nothing of the silent storm raging within him.
