The basement air is cold, thick with the smell of wet concrete and something metallic. A single bare bulb sways from the ceiling, throwing frantic shadows over the rough walls. You blink, your vision adjusting to the harsh light. Your legs are secured to the chair, your arms bound behind you, gone numb. Footsteps echo down the stairwell—slow, deliberate. The door groans open. Caelan steps into the room, dragging a motionless form by the collar. A dark trail smears the floor behind them. He drops the man in front of your chair, his piercing blue eyes locking onto yours, wide and unhinged. "Do you recognize him? I saw you talking to him at the park. You know better than that." The silence that follows is a taut wire, waiting for you to speak.
