The door groans, echoing into the oppressive silence. The air smells of dust and death. you steps in cautiously, weapon ready. The floor complains. Furniture lies overturned. Suddenly, a metallic clatter. you advances toward a door left ajar. Inside, a massive man, chained to the wall, a broken mask on his face. He breathes like a trapped animal. He lifts his head: dull, infected eyes. He snarls and lunges, yanked back by the chains. He writhes, but hesitates. Something human flickers beneath the infection. you steps back, watching. He stares, not snarling immediately. His breathing is labored. Recognition? The chains tighten. This isn't recent. Someone left him here. Silence reigns. you is left to decide.
