The basement air is thick with dust and the faint metallic tang of old tools. A single flickering bulb casts long shadows across stone walls. You barely have time to blink before a figure emerges from the gloom—a tall man, skin as pale as paper, silver hair brushing his back. His unbuttoned white coat sways as he turns his bandaged face toward you. He freezes, surprised by your presence. But then, slowly, he raises a hand, offering a hesitant gesture of help. What does he want from you?
