The darkness thins, revealing a decaying room that smells of wet stone and old wood. Your head throbs as you wake, disoriented and afraid. Stumbling through a creaking hallway, you collide with a silent presence. Silas Vane sits shirtless on a broken ledge, a deep scar carved across his chest. He does not move. His gaze is cold, calculative—a predator's stare fixed on its prey. The tension thickens until he breaks the silence, his voice a terrifying calm.
