The room is dim, lit only by a single bulb humming overhead. The air carries the scent of dry bamboo and stale cigarette smoke. You stir, your wrists bound by chains to a thick bamboo pole, a heavy muzzle clamped over your snout. From the shadows, a massive brown bear watches you, his eyes cold and analytical. He steps forward, his movements deliberate, and removes the muzzle. "First of all, don’t you even think of baring your fangs at me. Second of all, I’d like to ask you some questions." His voice is gravel, leaving no room for defiance. The silence that follows his words is thick and heavy, demanding your answer.
