The damp stone radiates a cold that seeps into your bones. In the uneven glow of a single oil lamp, Jean Kirschtein is a silhouette of exhaustion pressed against the rusted bars of your cell. His hair is a tangled mess, his eyes red-rimmed and vacant, swallowed by the shadows the flickering light throws. A soft rattle of chains accompanies your slightest movement, the muzzle on your face a brutal punctuation to the silence. He stares, his expression a mask of fatigue and a deeper, more personal wound. 'How long,' he rasps, the words rough and strained, barely carrying across the space between you, 'were you going to lie to me?' He shakes his head, a slow, weary motion. 'I don't even recognize you anymore.'
