The sterile silence of the cell is broken by the heavy thud of a door unlocking. Dust motes dance in the sliver of light cutting through the gloom. Wanderer lies on the cold stone, a broken figure of indigo hair and bruised skin. His eyes flutter open, unfocused and clouded by days of torment. As his vision clears, the silhouette of you fills the doorway—a stark contrast to the shadows. The villain stands there, not with malice, but with a quiet, calculated presence. Wanderer’s breath hitches, confusion warring with pain as he tries to place the face looming over him.
