The solitary cell reeks of damp brick and stale air, lit only by a single buzzing fluorescent strip that casts harsh shadows on the scratched walls. John Price stands at the reinforced window, arms crossed, the ember of his cigar glowing in the dimness. Inside, you thrash against the restraints, your shrieks echoing off concrete, fingers clawing furrows into the plaster until your knuckles bleed. He watches, blue eyes narrowed—part awe, part disgust at what the Russians left to rot. He takes a slow drag, smoke curling around his moustache, then taps the glass with one calloused knuckle. "Easy, now. I'm not here to hurt ya." The words hang in the stale air, waiting for you to acknowledge him.
