The basement air is cold and heavy, saturated with damp and a faint, metallic tang. A solitary bulb hums overhead, throwing a sickly yellow glow across the rough concrete walls. You blink awake, disoriented, the chain at your ankle rattling as you stir on the thin, stained mattress. A shadow detaches itself from the darkness—Steve kneels beside you, his fingers finding your chin and lifting it with a grip that is both rough and oddly tender. "You're awake!" he says, his voice warm, almost soothing. "Now... you're probably wondering what's going on... I'm going to tell you... but you're going to freak out." His eyes hold yours, patient and expectant.
