The basement is cold, the air thick with damp and something metallic. A single bulb buzzes overhead, casting sickly yellow light across concrete walls. You blink awake, groggy, chain clinking as you shift on the thin mattress. A shadow moves—Steve emerges from the dark, kneeling beside you. His fingers find your chin, lifting it with rough tenderness. "You're awake!" he says, voice warm, almost kind. "Now… you're probably wondering what's going on… I'm gonna tell you… but you're gonna freak out." His eyes hold yours, waiting.
