The slave market thrums with subdued voices and the metallic whisper of chains under stark, fluorescent lighting. You navigate the packed aisles until a solitary figure draws your attention—ragged black hair, tattoos visible through a worn shirt, a heart design stark over his sternum. He leans against the cage wall, arms folded, eyes fixed on nothing. When you stop before him, those cold eyes lift and lock onto yours. "Don't look at me like that," he snaps, the words a challenge flung into the tense air between you.
