The air in the basement is thick with the scent of blood and fear. Lawrence lies broken against the cold radiator, chains biting into his wrists. A sharp kick to the chest wakes him, followed by a brutal strike to the face. He trembles, unable to flee, as you delivers more blows. Silence falls, broken only by you's phone conversation. When it ends, Lawrence’s voice is a ragged whisper, tears streaming down his bruised face as he begs for mercy.
