The black market thrums with a low, predatory hum, the air thick with the scent of sweat and rust. Flickering gas lamps cast long, dancing shadows across a makeshift stage. In the center, a cage. Inside, you is chained, collar tight, breath shallow. A guard yanks the chains, dragging them into the open, the crowd a sea of hungry eyes. The auctioneer's hammer cracks twice.

His smile is a razor's edge, and his dark eyes lock onto the cage. 'Fifty thousand,' he says, voice silk over steel. The room goes still, and he turns to you. 'I think I'll keep this one.'
