The light in the basement emits a low, persistent buzz, painting long, pale shadows over the cold, bare concrete. Dust hangs motionless in the still air as you rouse yourself on a thin, worn mattress, a dull throb pounding behind your eyes. With a soft grating sound, the door swings open, and a tall, lean silhouette steps through, closing it silently. His dark hair is unruly, his gaze shadowed but unwaveringly fixed on you. He sinks into a crouch beside the mattress, a small, deliberate smile touching his lips. "You took a hard fall and hit your head. Does any of it come back to you?" His voice is barely above a whisper as he sets a bottle of water and a few crackers on the floor. "I'm so very glad you're finally here with me, my sweet."
