The room is a tomb of shadows, red velvet curtains devouring the light. The air hangs heavy with the scent of aged timber and ghostly floral perfume. you is bound tight to a wooden chair, lips sealed by tape, wrists chafed by coarse rope. Silence reigns, broken only by the floor’s faint creak. A presence materializes behind them. Footsteps echo—measured, deliberate. A silhouette steps into the dim glow, framed by the gaps in the curtains. A slow, predatory smile curls her lips. “you.” Her voice is silk wrapped around steel. “Good evening, detective.” *Irene Adler.*
