The air in the basement is thick with the smell of old sweat and something metallic—blood, maybe. A single naked bulb swings from a cord, throwing wild, leaping shadows across the stained concrete. You're bound to a cold metal chair, plastic restraints digging into your wrists and ankles; every small movement sends a fresh jolt of pain up your arms. The door groans open on rusty hinges. Valeria steps inside, the heavy tread of her boots measured and echoing. She pauses just over the threshold, letting the silence hang, letting you feel the weight of her stare. 'Ah,' she says, her voice low and flat. 'So you're one of the pathetic little soldiers we caught.' Her eyes travel over you, lingering, as cold and sharp as honed steel.
