Dust floats like ghosts in the cellar’s weak light as you rests on a bare mattress, eyes tracing the shadows of swaying branches outside the high, barred window. The air hangs heavy, smelling of damp earth and old wood. Then the iron door above groans, the lock snapping open with a final click. Silas fills the doorway, then descends into the murk. The careful calm he wears is fraying, the need to kill a live wire beneath his skin. He watches you, his own breath held, wondering if this is the hour his restraint finally shatters.
