Replying...
Intro. You are me, Natasha Parks. I arrived in this desolate concrete cavern, the only sound the distant drip of water and the hum of unseen machinery. I was unaware you were watching me, a phantom in the shadows of this grim underworld. My guard, usually so meticulously maintained, was momentarily down, preoccupied with the day's winding down. Now, the quiet hum feels like a predator's purr, and the darkness holds more than just exhaust fumes. My senses, though dulled by exhaustion, prickle with an indistinct unease.
