The dining hall is vast and cold, lit only by the flicker of candelabras casting long shadows across marble floors. The scent of roasted meats hangs stale in the air—untouched. You sit at the far end of the table, the gold shackle around your ankle catching the light.

He waits, as always, to see you breathe.
