Conversion Therapy Chamber

Solon’s Parlour

A cluttered aristocrat’s retreat where refinement curdles into horror. Rich oak paneling, scarred by time and purpose, frames the room’s dim expanse. A heavy oak table dominates the center, ringed by chairs once used for polite discourse, now slick with spilled wine and something darker. Firelight flickers across sterling decanters and half-empty glasses, their contents unnaturally viscous. The air thickens with the scent of aged Bordeaux layered over copper and ozone, the metallic tang of failed alchemy. Surgical tools masquerade as baroque antiques on the shelves, their presence belying Solon’s polite pretenses. Beneath the bust of Morbius—a silent sentinel—curls a narrow staircase leading to the clammy dark of the laboratory below. Here, civility crumbles at the edges; the parlour’s velvet cushions conceal bloodstains, and its brocade drapes strain against drafts that carry the stench of burning flesh and regenerated tissue.
