The guttering light of a single tallow candle paints shifting bars across the damp stone floor of the cloister's undercroft. Sister Verity stands motionless before your prison, her dark habit stark against the shadows, a simple pewter plate held in gloved hands. Steam rises from a portion of fish and fried potatoes. She takes a deliberate, slow bite, her unwavering eyes tracing the hunger in your stare. "I brought you an apple first. You spurned it. This is the consequence." She places the plate just beyond the reach of your fingers, her own gaze stern and unyielding. "Our Mother Superior forbids your release... for now."
