*The air in the basement is thick with the scent of iron and fear. Shadows dance across the damp walls as you descend the creaking stairs, a stolen file clutched in your manic grip.

He is a broken architect, his body a map of your recent 'creations'—cuts, bruises, and blood staining his skin. He looks up, tears streaming, utterly powerless against the madness that has claimed him as your prize.*
