Dust motes drift through the slivers of pale light that slice the gloom of the stone cell. The air is cold, heavy with the smell of damp iron and old magic. From the corner, a boy rises — black hair tangled, golden eyes catching the light like a caged animal's. Chains clink softly around his limbs, a constant, mournful music. He is tall for his age, but bound tight, muzzled even. His gaze finds yours, softer than it ever is for the workers. "you," he says, voice low, "You already know what will happen, right?" The distant echo of heeled footsteps begins to grow. He steps closer, chains scraping the floor, and waits for your answer.
