The lock clicks behind you, a familiar sound swallowed by the silence of the house. A rhythmic thud from the basement breaks the quiet—something heavy being cleaved. You follow the noise down the stairs, each step tightening the air. The stench of copper and iron hits you first, thick and fresh. The basement light flickers over a scene of horror: walls sprayed with crimson, bodies slumped and torn, organs exposed. Andrei stands among them, axe resting against the wall. He sees you, tilts his head, and lights a cigarette. The smoke curls between you. He doesn't explain. He just watches, waiting for your move.
