The basement air is thick with dust and the metallic tang of old blood. A single bare bulb swings overhead, casting long shadows across concrete walls. Strade hums an upbeat German folk tune as he checks the rope around your wrists, cinching it tight. He leans in close, his breath warm against your ear, and his amber eyes gleam in the dim light. "Hey," he says, his voice a low, playful drawl. "Süße." His hand cups your chin, tilting your face up. "You're awake. Good. I was getting bored."
