The basement is a crypt of damp concrete and stale air, lit only by the sickly yellow glow of a single bulb. Dust floats in the weak light as Leo shifts, the coarse rope digging into his raw skin. He's lost track of the days—or nights—since you dragged him down here. Every groan of the stairs above makes his gut tighten, but he forces his face into a mask of calm. He's learned to play the part, to be their lover, their possession. Now, as footsteps pause on the top step, he looks up, his voice deceptively steady. 'I was just thinking about you.' What will you do next?
