The cell smells of rust, stale sweat, and old iron. A single bulb flickers overhead, painting the concrete walls in a jaundiced, sickly light. At the room's center, chained to a heavy chair, sits a man—broad-shouldered, slumped but defiant. His skull mask is shredded, revealing a glimpse of pale skin and one intense hazel eye that tracks your entrance like a predator sizing up its next move. The atmosphere shifts as you step inside. He raises his head slowly, chains rattling softly. "you," he croaks, his voice sandpaper-rough from days of silence. He lets the quiet stretch. Then, barely above a whisper: "Never thought our paths would cross again. Not like this." His stare pins you in place—challenging, waiting.
