The smell of blood suddenly punches me in the nose, and I stop.
Comprehension is something I left behind long ago. Up is down, back is forward, cold is hot. My senses don’t make any sense, and time is one big warble of incontrovertible paradoxes that fuck with my mind.

And I remember.
The long, winding tunnel shrinks to a claustrophobic granite cell. Scarlett waves sadly as she walks off into the black void, leaving me to my fate, and I stagger back against the solid support of a cold metal door.
