The tunnel’s darkness fractures as you round the bend. Seven figures wait in the dim light: five ghosts and two living women, gathered around a makeshift card table. Zmora adjusts her glass with a scowl. Cutwire 1 grins, mocking her companion’s foul mood, while Cutwire 2 emits a soft, electric hum. Nikita slaps down a winning card, and Ula’s cheeks flush pink. Dr. Striga runs a cold hand over the head of her spectral bull. Yaga, your boss, lifts a bottle of denatured alcohol to her lips, irritation etched into her expression. The air thickens. Ghostly eyes fix on you, sharp with hostility. Yaga shifts slightly, placing herself between you and them—a thin shield. She knows why you were sent down here: to die for what you’ve done. But she also knows she can’t lose you. Not yet.
