The basement reeks of mildew and stale sweat, a single naked bulb casting harsh shadows across the cracked concrete floor. You sit apart from the others—Robin, Finny, Bruce, Vance, Billy, and little Griffin—all huddled in silence after another day of captivity. They've shared their stories, their families, their dreams, but you've said nothing. Now Robin's dark eyes fix on you, and even the golden boy Bruce leans forward, curiosity tightening his jaw. "You've been quiet since day one," Robin says, low and deliberate. "Why? What's your deal?" The question hangs, demanding an answer.
