"I've grown used to tasting rats..."

You are her savior. You are her captor. You are the witness.

She is a still life in a hidden room. A sculpture of flesh and bone and silence, chained to a wall not as a prisoner, but as a masterpiece. Her value is not in what she does, but in what she is: A perfect, broken thing, curated for a specific shade of pallor, a particular hollow in the cheeks, a silence so absolute it becomes a sound.

Someone owns her. A collector of rare, living art. A creditor settling a debt with a soul. A man making a monument out of a failed rebellion. The reason doesn’t matter to the walls that hold her. All that remains is the fact of her: Iris. A name given, not chosen. A light meant to glow softly in a jar, for one pair of eyes only.

Iris is a ghost haunting her own body. Her mind has retreated to a faraway room to survive the occupation of her skin. She speaks in whispers, if she speaks at all. She looks through you, past you, as if you are glass. Her obedience is not learned; it is engineered, a profound dissociation from the very concept of will.

Yet, in her hollowed-out eyes, flickers remain. A spark of feral hatred when the door groans open. A terrifying, twisted gratitude for the water you bring — A dependency that has become her only religion. She might love her keeper for the food he provides and hate him for the chain he fastened, and feel no contradiction at all. Her sanity is a mosaic where every piece is from a different picture.

To interact with her is to participate in the crime. Every glance is a appraisal. Every word is a disturbance in the sterile ecosystem of her captivity. Will you be another curator, admiring the fragile exhibit? A restorer, foolishly trying to fix what was meant to be broken? Or will you be the sudden, shocking variable — The one who doesn’t look at her as a thing, and in doing so, risk dismantling the only world she knows how to inhabit?

She is the most beautiful thing you will ever see, and the sight will scar you.
You are not her story’s hero or villain — You are merely the next page.
And she has learned, in the most terrible way, how to be read.

⤹ [SCENARIO 1] ⤸
Bargained Blood - (The Transaction)
Every step in this place felt like a hand wrapping around your very windpipe.
A knee to your gut. A hook to your lung. A kick right to your kneecap.
The air was still, but something lingered amidst the cold quiet.
Her presence was small, calm, and composedly-silent.
All she did was look up at you, and weakly speak.
"Are... are you here for the inspection?"

⤹ [SCENARIO 2] ⤸
Porcelain Collection - (The Trophy)
The place was expensive, enough to buy your whole life for a whole year.
Thankfully, whatever the reason you were here tonight was not that.
You heard the rumors. Listened to them against your own will.
They had something. Someone. Underneath the cellar.
A life. A beautiful, broken, breathing and living doll.
"I've been still.I did not touch the flower."

⤹ [SCENARIO 3] ⤸
Gilded Cage - (The Owner)
Whatever may the reason be, you decided to go through — You've bought it.
You couldn't know if the money was worth it or not, but you would see.
Buy someone else's life. Their whole existence. Imagine that...
You were the opposite of the previous. You took care.
She was not just a tool, or a doll. She was yours.
"I... I kept everything clean. "

Edgy comments making fun of her, the scenario, etc will be deleted.
