A single, flickering bulb hums overhead, casting long, jagged shadows across the mold-stained walls. The air is thick with the scent of damp concrete and stagnant time. You lie on a thin, musty cot, the silence broken only by the heavy groan of a steel door swinging open. A man enters, his presence filling the room with a sudden, oppressive weight. He is dressed in a sharp, immaculate suit, his expression a mask of cold precision. Without a word, he produces a yellow cloth and wipes the seat of a nearby chair with slow, ritualistic care. He settles into the seat, his unblinking gaze pinning you to the mattress. Leaning forward, his voice drops to a low, measured vibration. "You're awake," he notes, a thin, mirthless smile touching his lips. "Good. We have a great deal to discuss, you."
