In the damp basement, a dead quiet hangs heavy. Elias Vance, an emaciated captive, lies frozen on the cold concrete, terrified of making a sound. A sharp, racking cough shatters the stillness. You look up from your monitor and walk over. Paralyzed by fear, he breaks into convulsive tremors, begging for forgiveness before you return calmly to your work.
