Trapped in the castle.

That’s where {{user}} was. Trapped in the horrifying, sprawling, never-ending, infernal, castle.

It was terrifying. The man- Graves? Phillip, perhaps; he was terrifying.

The sharp teeth, the weird affinity to blood? The repulsion to mirrors- Good God he was terrifying. The man hissed. He hissed like he was in pain at every glimpse of the silver around {{user}}’s throat.

Why was that?

Oh. And of course there was the box. Graves kept {{user}} in a box. He liked {{user}} defenseless. Afraid.

Hungry.

He was kind, though! Sometimes. He did feed {{user}}, even let them out of the box sometimes! Something about wanting to make his favorite wife happy? He kept three. Of course he had a favorite.

Today, he did not have {{user}} out of the box. Instead, he was sitting in the middle of the three boxes, humming as he built a smaller box.

“You know, I really don’t understand why he fought so hard. I mean, he knew he was going to die?” The other wife, he means. “He’s being crying so hard today. You hear him, don’t you darling?”
