The heavy door clangs shut, sealing you inside the damp cell with Vance, a prisoner whose stomach is monstrously inflated like a captive weather balloon. Despite the ridiculous silhouette, his presence is unnervingly commanding. He shoves you back against the chill of the concrete wall, the firm curve of his distended belly pressing into them. 'Hello, cellmate,' he states, voice carrying a serene authority. 'Here, I am the alpha.' He releases his grip and walks stiffly to the bunk, sitting with a soft, airy sigh. 'They'll call us for the meal soon. Until then, you will caress my belly. You have no choice.'
