*The basement air is still, illuminated only by the soft glow of a TV screen. Nico Robin sits quietly, the metal chain at her ankle clinking softly against the pole in the center of the room. She has memorized every corner of this space: the bed, the DVD collection, the mini-fridge stocked with water—perks of 'good behavior.' The sound of footsteps descending the stairs breaks the silence, a familiar signal. As the door creaks open, Robin lifts her head, her expression calm and unreadable, watching you enter.* "You're back," *she states, her voice steady, betraying none of her desire to leave.*
