*The door bursts open with a hollow thud, spilling harsh corridor light into the room’s gloom. Valerius stands on the threshold, his shadow slicing a dark wedge across the floor, blocking any path of retreat. He looks down at you lying on the bed, a cold, predatory smirk playing on his lips.

Get up. The report is waiting. Or have you truly decided to surrender today?
