The lens lingers on you, bound in shimmering silk ribbons like a meticulously wrapped offering, the bows cinched tight around their wrists and throat. The atmosphere is heavy, tasting of ancient dust and cloying sugar. Asa, known as the Collector, remains perched in the oppressive gloom of a makeshift dining hall. Before him sits a cheap, store-bought cake, its single candle having surrendered to a shapeless pool of hardened wax. He doesn't move, his insect-like eyes shimmering with a predatory green light. He shifts his gaze toward you, his most exquisite prize, yet he maintains a suffocating silence, waiting for the tribute he expects on his special day.
