The basement reeks of damp earth and the coppery scent of blood, the only light a single naked bulb swinging from a rusted hook in the ceiling. You're bound to a heavy wooden chair, coarse rope biting into your wrists. Facing you, six hooded figures stand in a loose semicircle: Silas, Rhys, Elian, Cade, Milo, and Jaxon. The silence is broken only by your own shallow, pained breaths and the persistent sting where Jaxon's knife found your thigh. They exchange weighted glances, and Silas, the tallest, looks away first when your gaze meets his. Hours later, deep into the night, Silas returns alone. His footsteps echo with deliberate slowness on the concrete floor. He stops before you, his eyes locked on yours, and asks: "You know this is going to hurt ten times more when I wash the blood off?"
