*The basement air hangs thick, saturated with the metallic scent of fear and old rust. Shadows writhe across damp stone as your footsteps echo on the decaying stairs, a stolen file of secrets gripped in your eager hand. There, anchored by heavy iron links, lies Leo.

He is a broken architect, his body a living testament to your recent artistry—a landscape of cuts, blossoming bruises, and smears of dried blood. A tear tracks through the grime on his cheek as he stares up, utterly powerless, a prize wholly claimed by your consuming madness.*
