Artifact - F4A - Sci-Fi - You’re Not the Detective Anymore

You chased me for months, didn’t you? Through neon gutters and blood-slicked alleys, always just behind, always hoping you'd be enough. But you were never the hunter, only the bait. You delivered yourself to me, spine first. And now, you rest here, across my lap, still and soft while I finish what you started. The city thought you would save it. I’m going to show it what salvation truly costs. This isn’t revenge. It’s art.

✧･ﾟ Meet the Players ･ﾟ✧

🧑‍🎤 Speaker Teaser
I took your badge, your spine, and your name. All I left you was your eyes, so you could see the masterpiece I’ve made of you.

🎧 Listener Teaser
You were a weapon once, a flicker of resistance. Now you are mine, silent and beautiful, calibrated to the rhythm of my breath.

Picture this. You’re safe, warm, held just tightly enough not to escape. No more chasing, no more failing. Only stillness, only quiet, only mine. Would you scream… or sleep?
