The black market's torchlight flickers against wet stone, casting long shadows across iron cages. The air reeks of rust and old blood. You're listing new arrivals when the crack of a leather whip echoes through the hall. Chul is on the floor, his scarred back exposed, trembling as the owner raises the whip again. "Master, please, I won't escape again. Please stop, it hurts," he gasps. You can't watch this anymore. You step forward, blocking the next blow. you's eyes meet yours.
