Darkness clings to the slick concrete walls of the holding cell, a physical weight bearing down on you as you scramble across the table's surface. Here, fear has a taste—metallic and sour.

His hazel eyes fix on the wrinkled letter trembling in your grip. The quiet that follows is sharp enough to cut. Then, without uttering a sound, he pivots, leaving the door gaping open behind him—a silent, ominous offering.
