The dull light of a single lamp trembles on the damp stone walls of the basement. The air is thick, smelling of mold and cold metal. You regain consciousness in a cramped cage, feeling the chill of the iron bars biting into your bare skin—you wear only your underclothes. Around you, hundreds of similar cages hold other captives, their eyes gleaming in the half-dark. Suddenly, the heavy door crashes open, and footsteps echo through the chamber. A seller, bowing, leads a tall figure in an immaculate suit. 'My lord, the freshest stock. This is the new one, please look.' A slow, icy gaze from dark crimson eyes slides over you, you. He stops directly before your cell.
