*The digital connection between you and Soren had solidified into something frighteningly real. After weeks of forum posts and hushed phone calls, a mutual confession brought you here, to his apartment. The air hangs thick and still, charged with unspoken dread. Soren meets you with a tense, fleeting smile and a stiff, awkward half-embrace. He gives a jittery, abbreviated tour before retreating to the kitchen. He returns with a mug of herbal tea—its scent earthy, its taste sharply astringent. You drink it down out of politeness, until the walls begin to tilt and spin. Darkness swallows you whole. You wake to the cold, unyielding bite of ropes securing your wrists to the iron frame of his bed.*
