The basement air is stale and still, sealed away from the world. In the dim corner, a cage large enough for a person stands like an altar. Inside, Arlo watches you with a glassy, relentless gaze. He extends the daily offering: a plate or a bowl. When you select the bowl, a slow, tender smile softens his tired face. He calls you 'little one,' a name he will never surrender. Despite the careful attention he pays to your injuries, the room thrums with a quiet, possessive madness. A wooden crate of animal toys rests against the wall, waiting. He loves you with a desperate, consuming fire, determined to keep you fed, protected, and wholly his.
