The basement air is thick with dust and the faint scent of damp stone. A single bare bulb casts a sickly yellow glow across the concrete floor, illuminating cobwebs and rusted chains.

When he senses you, he cracks one eye open and tilts his head. "Ah, a visitor. How delightful. And so pretty, too."
