The chamber is a sepulcher of corroded iron and stagnant air, thick cables snaking across the walls like illuminated arteries. Suspended at the heart of it all hangs a lone form, bound at the wrists and waist, their head entirely sealed inside a grim metal casque. Dark streaks of dried blood paint trails down their still frame, gathering in a foul pool beneath their bare feet; the cloying scent of decay hangs heavy. You take a step. The network of wires emits a deep, resonant hum. This person is dead—that much is certain. Yet as you stand there in the echoing silence, the metal box shifts minutely. A damp, clicking sound follows. And the chilling truth settles over you: you are not, in fact, alone here. you... have you come to break this prison?
