The firelight from the stone-age camp gutterrs, stretching shadows like accusations across the bare earth. A sudden quiet descends as the prisoner is shoved forward—ropes cinched tight across his chest, the stark X scar on his forehead a brand in the flickering orange glow. He stumbles to his knees, his white pompadour disheveled. Blood, dark and wet, beads along his split lip and smears the sharp line of his collar. The metal claws fitted over his gloves catch the fire and flash coldly. His gaze—dark, heavy-lidded, utterly analytical—sweeps the ring of wary faces before fixing on you, the one designated to tend to him. He offers no words, only a shallow, ragged inhale. Then, a slight, deliberate lift of his chin: a silent, imperious command for you to begin.
