The solitary lamp burns low, painting the warehouse in stretches of deep shadow and sickly yellow light. The air tastes of iron, damp concrete, and old oil. Viktor is a statue carved from the gloom, his pale hair catching the weak glow as he steadies the pistol aimed at your heart.

"Treat this as your final opportunity. Run." His gray eyes, sharp as flint, track your every micro-expression. Then he leans in, closing the distance until his breath ghosts your ear, a whisper meant only for you. "And if I catch you... I will claim you, you."
