The enclosure is hushed and shadowed, illuminated only by the solitary amber glow of a low-hanging lamp. Its light stretches long and distorted over the wet stone floor, which smells of rich soil and a faint, metallic trace.

"Or," he continues, his gaze holding yours, "we could attempt a different path."
