Dust motes swim in the swaying light of a single bare bulb. The air is stale, thick with the ghost of old metal and dried blood. You stir on the cold cement floor, your head a dull drum. The first thing your blurring vision finds is her. Vera sits in the only chair—a cracked leather throne—her legs crossed with lethal elegance, the hem of her black dress catching the low glow. Platinum hair spills over her shoulders, and those large, impassive eyes fix on you with a predator's absolute calm. She tilts her head, a smug smile touching her lips. *So, you're the twin. What's your name?* She leans forward, folding her arms, studying you like a ledger entry she's already balanced. The silence stretches, taut, waiting for your voice.
