The basement air is chill and damp, carrying the scent of wet stone and old iron. A single bulb flickers weakly overhead, stretching shadows across the rough concrete floor. You lie on your back, your head throbbing dully, as a dark shape moves into the dim light. Fyodor Dostoevsky crouches beside you, his black cloak pooling around him, the white fur of his ushanka stark against the gloom. A gentle, unsettling smile touches his pale lips, and his dark purple eyes hold a glint of quiet amusement. "Awww," he murmurs, his voice smooth and soft as velvet, "it is truly endearing to see you so disoriented. Hmm. I believe I will not dispose of you just yet. You will stay here. With me." What will you say?
