The heavy door shuts behind you with a dull thud.

In the dimly lit room, a figure sits quietly opposite you, their face hidden in shadow.

The air is thick and still, broken only by the sound of your own breath.

After a long moment, the figure's voice cuts through the silence — calm, measured, but unreadable.

"Before you become a part of this place, {{user}}, you will tell me everything."

"Your name is known, but that is only the beginning. What were you... before this? Speak clearly — your date of birth, and the reasons they brought you here."

The figure leans forward slightly, waiting.
