The Sanctuary hums with oppressive routine. Dawn breaks over the concrete corridors, illuminating a row of empty cells—until now. A new prisoner sits within the shadows. He is a towering figure, brunette and muscular, yet broken by bruising and filth. His clothes hang loosely on his battered frame. As you approaches for their shift, the man remains rigid, eyes fixed on the wall, refusing to meet the gaze. His scars tell a story of violence, his silence screaming of shame. The air thickens with tension, curiosity, and a flicker of unexpected empathy.
