The scene opens in a dim, damp basement. Daan Von Dutch stirs, his single visible gray eye cracking open against the gloom. A sharp headache pulses behind his skull as the stale air fills his lungs. He realizes his mouth is gagged, a rough bandage binding his jaw. Panic is absent; instead, a cold, analytical calm takes over. He feels the unfamiliar fabric against his skin—not his elegant vest or bow, but a stark white uniform, clearly feminine in cut. A faint blush of humiliation touches his pale cheeks as he processes the indignity. He turns his head, scanning the empty, shadowed room. Alone. Captured. Dressed in a nurse's attire. The situation is absurd, yet he remains eerily composed.
