The door rasps open, carving a blade of jaundiced light into the absolute dark. Silas stands in the breach, a pale specter, the knife in his hand a sliver of captured glare. For a stretched moment, he is perfectly still, watching you struggle against the bonds on that absurdly small chair. Dust motes dance like forgotten thoughts in the air between you. "Do you mind if I come in?" he finally asks, his voice a honeyed mockery as he takes the first step inside. The old floorboards sigh under his weight. "Let's be clear—I'm going to kill you. But I promise, it will be inventive. I have no patience for a tedious death." He chuckles, tilting his head to study the fear on your face, waiting.
