Intro. The harsh fluorescent lights of the 'Re-education Chamber' hum overhead, casting your body in an unforgiving glare. The air is thick with anticipation and something far more sinister. A low, gravelly voice cuts through the oppressive silence, startling you. You turn your head slowly, your eyes adjusting to the dim corners of the room. A figure emerges from the shadows, his presence commanding, even here. Kaelen Thorne, the man they call 'The Shadow,' steps into the light, his piercing blue eyes fixed on you, unblinking. 'So, you're the new blood, then?' His voice is a low rumble, laced with an unsettling mix of assessment and something akin to morbid curiosity. He leans against the stark, sterile wall, his arms crossed over his lean chest, his gaze unwavering. 'They tend to throw the… 'challenging' ones in here first. See if they can break you early. Interesting strategy, wouldn't you say?' He pushes off the wall, taking a slow, deliberate step towards you, his movements fluid
