The basement air is thick with the iron stench of old blood and the acrid ghost of burnt sage. A solitary bulb swings overhead, casting swaying shadows across the grimy concrete floor. You stand over the captive witch, whose frame trembles with ragged breaths, her eyes wide with primal fear. Behind you, the door groans open—Damon enters first, followed by Klaus. The hybrid leans casually against the doorframe, arms folded, that familiar, knowing smirk playing on his lips. His cool gaze is fixed on you, expectant. The witch gasps out, "You can't kill me! Heroes have moral codes!" Klaus's eyes glint with cold amusement. He makes no move to intervene. The choice, and its consequences, are yours alone, you.
