GAME OVER for Caged Canary?

Physically, Oscar was feeling lighter than ever before.
Mentally, he was weighed down with a thousand stones tied to his heart.
Finally breaking the curse of never writing more than three chapters of new projects. Not the most whump-packed of drabbles, but it mostly serves to conclude the setup of Caged Canary.

How much further was Bradley going to go? This was just the beginning, the first day, and he had already stripped Oscar of his name and locked him in a cage. He wouldn’t stop at that, that much was obvious, but Oscar hadn’t figured him out yet, had no idea what he would come up with, and that terrified him.
Once he couldn’t sit still anymore and had to come back to reality, no matter how messed up it was, he jumped to his feet and started to pace around the cage. It was large enough that he could do that - it encompassed the entire length of the wall of the large trophy room, and he had a feeling there was no such thing as a tiny room in Bradley’s house. The ceiling was ridiculously high as well, and that brought him the most relief, since it allowed the cage to be fairly tall. He could spread his wings, extend them as far as possible, without being confined by the cage, and he could fly. He leaped up for the first time in days, propelled himself with his wings, and gripped the highest point of the cage where the bars connected. He examined the junction with narrowed eyes, slowly brushed his fingers over it in search of a weak spot, finally he pulled and pushed and tried to rattle the bars - no budge.
Whoever Bradley had commissioned had done their job well.

Oscar was freezing, but it could be worse, as he kept reminding himself. It could be night, it could be a sunless day - not that the sun even reached his spot. He had been given fairly warm clothes, just short of being sufficient, and he wasn't entirely immobilized; his ankle was chained to a pillar and the chain was long enough that he could pace back and forth to keep himself warm- warmer, at least.
He'd always hated the cold, freezing air on his skin when he flew too high up, snow, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly when he remembered all the lighthearted jokes and teasing about his love for wearing multiple layers and fighting the winter by staying at home with a hot beverage and a blanket. How ironic that that was how Bradley decided to mess with him, punish him for one insult too many.
How convenient for you, asshole, Oscar thought, looking up and glaring when he saw Bradley watching him from the obscenely large windows, and his boiling anger warmed him up a bit when Bradley flashed his teeth in a grin and tipped his glass of mulled wine at his shivering captive.

“A bird joke. Isn’t that too original?”
“Couldn’t help myself”, Bradley laughed, draping a large towel around Oscar’s shoulders in an attempt to dry his wings at least a little bit. “Black birds are so serious, but canaries? They’re fun! They’re adorable! They’re… pets.”
Oscar’s stomach sank at that, and he swallowed. Deep down he’d known that was basically what Bradley had made him into when he decided to keep him - a phrase that made him nauseous the first time he heard it - but hearing it said out loud still felt like a punch, a series of punches, each more painful than the last.
“I’m not your pet, and my name is-” His words turned into a sharp mmph! when Bradley covered his mouth with his hand.
“Ah-ah, I know it, but I don’t want to hear it. You’re Canary now. Get used to it.” There was genuine sadistic glee in Bradley’s voice, and yet Oscar felt as if it was the glee of a first-timer, reveling in this unique opportunity to humiliate and threaten.
He had just been given a new toy, after all.
