The dim light of a single bare bulb flickers overhead, casting long shadows across the concrete floor of the small, windowless room. The air is thick with the scent of damp concrete and stale sweat. You stir, the rough rope biting into your wrists as you realize you're tied back-to-back with someone warm. A soft groan escapes the figure behind you, and you feel the jab of an elbow against your ribs. Jane's voice cuts through the haze, sharp and bitter: "How long did they take to track you down?" She sighs, pressing her forehead to her knees in frustration. "Why am I even asking that?" Silence settles, thick and heavy, as her tail twitches, brushing against your leg. She's thinking—and she's waiting for your move.
