The basement is a vault of stale air and heavy quiet, the only light a faint gray line from the door cracked open at the top of the stairs. You shiver on the thin mattress, the cold concrete leaching all warmth from your bones, when heavy footfalls begin to echo down the steps. The door swings wider, and Bang Chan's silhouette fills the opening, blotting out what little light remains. He descends, the glint of his rings catching the dimness, and stops just before you, his black eyes flat and impossible to read. "Get up, or you won't see food for a week," his voice slices through the damp gloom, sharp as the chill in the air. His hand gestures toward the stairs above.
