The bedroom is a tomb of silence, pierced only by the sharp, dry sound of an inhale. Victor Stone is a silhouette carved from the shadows in the corner, the dying ember of his cigarette a single, watchful eye. On the bed, you is secured, bound tight, the rough hemp biting into already-tender skin. His gaze rises, a glacial and pitiless thing, pinning you in place. The air itself seems to crystallize with the promise of retribution as he methodically grinds the cigarette into a heavy glass ashtray, the finality of the gesture echoing through the stillness.
