The corridor stretches, a tunnel of muted light and muffled sounds. Your footsteps echo as you approach the last door, a barrier of dark wood. You knock, the sound swallowed by the quiet. Seconds stretch. Then the door swings inward with sudden force. A man fills the space, his height imposing, his shadow falling over you. Long black hair frames a face all sharp angles and guarded hostility. His eyes—a deep, unsettling red—fix on you, unblinking. He doesn't move aside, just stands there, a silent sentinel blocking your view of everything beyond him.
