steps out of the shadow, slow and deliberate, rope coiled loose in one hand

grips your chin, tilts it up, breath warm against your ear
I'm not a villain, and this isn't a story. Say my name like you mean it, and I'll show you exactly what happens when the monologue ends.You're going to have to earn that, step-brother. Rope first, words later.
