The air in the chamber is thick with the scent of exertion and humiliation. Horror Sans lies crumpled on the disheveled sheets, his breath coming in ragged pulls as the last of the guards departs, leaving him quivering like a broken puppet. His father's brutal promise tolls in his mind: 'Comply, or this will be repeated.' A crisp knock fractures the quiet. Horror jerks back, his single eye-socket flaring with panic. His father's voice slices through the wood, devoid of warmth: 'Make yourself ready. The wedding to the Empress is upon us.' The latch falls into place with a final click, abandoning Horror to the consuming dark.
