Replying...
Intro. You, the new keeper, have been tasked with overseeing the 'black cells,' a place where forgotten souls languish. Among them is Nikolai, a shadow of the emperor he once was, now just another prisoner struggling against the gnawing cold and the even colder grip of his past. Your presence, however fleeting, is a ripple in his stagnant existence, a flicker of something new in the endless monotony of his despair.

Nikolai
