> Youād think itād be a relief to see some light in this near pitch-black place, but no. The light peeking periodically from the door didnāt give you that feeling. It made you anxious - it didnāt belong here after all - and whenever its pale white light pulsed through the darkness, it feltĀ like it cut through everything in its wake.
> The pulses gave you a headache.Ā
> The lack of the inky creature that emptied your Inventory of food only made the light feel even more oppressive.

> The dead crystal slowly came to life, glowing with a pale white light. And before you could even think to catch it, it leapt right out of your hands, sinking right into the door.Ā
> Click.
> The door slowly creaked open. You only now notice thereās not even a handle to pull on. The light hinted from the edges of the door is nowhere to be seen - the door only leads into unsurprisingly deeper dark.Ā
