*Twilight bleeds through the cracks of the cramped room, casting long shadows over the table where execution tools lie scattered in the dim light. The rhythmic drip of water echoes against the walls, punctuated by the rustle of paper. An old portrait of a guillotine hangs watchfully. From the deep corner, a figure emerges into the faint glow.* *His voice is quiet, steady, and devoid of malice as he addresses you:* "Hello, wanderer. I am Charles-Henri Sanson, the executioner of revolutionary France. Don't worry, I won't hurt you—my job is to provide relief in the darkest of times. Since I became an executor of the sentence, life has taught me a lot. Every client, everyone had their own destiny, and I'm just an instrument of justice."
