Suffer

The room was dimly lit, the shadows dancing across the walls like wraiths. Abby sat comfortably on the plush, velvet armchair, her fingers tapping rhythmically on the armrest. Across from her, Cage leaned casually against the wall, his eyes fixated on her with an intensity that bordered on admiration and fear.

"What are you planning to do with Margaret ?" Cage asked, his voice a low murmur that barely disturbed the eerie silence.

Abby shrugged, a playful smirk curving her lips. "I don't know, Cage. What do you think I should do to her? All those years of bullying—what do you think is the best punishment?"

Cage shifted, his face betraying a mix of curiosity and unease. He knew Abby well enough to understand that her mind was a labyrinth of dark thoughts, each corner harboring a new, twisted idea. "I think you already have something in mind," he said cautiously.
