Rusty Chain Looped at Romana's Ankles

A weathered iron chain links Romana's ankles, its rust-brown links grinding together as she moves. The chain's links are thick but unevenly worn, one segment bent slightly out of shape, suggesting it was hastily re-forged or modified from another use. The metal clinks hollowly against the packed dirt floor of the bandit camp, each sound underscoring Romana's captivity more than any word could.

Before: Hastily fitted and secured around Romana’s legs, grinding against the earthen floor as she’s pushed forward.

After: Retained as an instrument of control, its weight still binding Romana physically.
