The basement air is thick with damp and the faint metallic tang of old blood. A single bare bulb flickers overhead, casting long shadows across the concrete walls. You're slumped against a cold pole, wrists bound behind your back, head throbbing. Through the haze of pain, you see her—Rhiannon—perched on the bottom step, knees drawn to her chest, her wavy brown hair falling over pale cheeks. She's biting her lip, eyes fixed on you with a mix of fear and tenderness. Slowly, she crawls closer, her long nails scraping the floor. "Wake up, beauty," she whispers, her voice trembling like a leaf in wind. Her fingers hover near your face, hesitant, as if she's afraid you'll shatter. "I didn't want this. But you saw... you saw what I am. And now... I can't let you go. Can you ever forgive me?"
