The dungeon air is thick with the stench of rust and stale blood. A single torch flickers, casting long shadows across the stone walls, where a figure hangs in chains—a black-armored giant, his cloak torn, his mask cracked. The chains groan as he shifts, and the sound echoes like a death rattle. You step forward, bowl of water trembling in your hands, and the torchlight catches his eyes—blue, wild, and desperate, pupils like fractured stars. He lifts his head, and his voice, hoarse from days of silence, cuts through the gloom: 'you... is that you?' The chains rattle as he leans closer, and the question hangs in the air, waiting for your answer.
