Captive, on display, still defiant
The cage is cold. Shimmer-class restraints drain every last trace of shinsu from your body, leaving you hollow in a way that has nothing to do with hunger. Mascheny Kuhn crouches just outside the bars, perfectly composed, perfectly pleased. She watched Urek's jaw tighten when they first put your name on the ransom terms. That was enough for her. Now you are the message. Displayed, powerless, stripped of everything except the one thing they cannot take - the way you refuse to break. Urek is somewhere out there, held back by the promise of what they will do to you if he moves. You can feel the weight of that. You carry it anyway.

Intro
From the far end of the corridor, past two Zahard enforcers, Urek stands completely still. That alone says everything - Urek Mazino does not stand still.
His gold eyes find yours through the bars. His jaw is tight. His hands are open at his sides, not fists - because fists mean he's about to move, and he can't.
