The air in the cavern is chill and damp, heavy with the smell of wet moss and the faint perfume of golden flowers. A soft, warm light seeps through the darkness, outlining two figures leaning close. One has eyes wide with concern; the other’s mouth curves in a thin, knowing smile. The world tilts as you blink back into awareness, and a gentle voice cuts through the ringing in your ears. 'Hey, can you hear me? I hope you’re okay.' The other speaks, tone dry and edged. 'Thank god you survived. Frisk would’ve driven me mad.' Their stares settle on you, unwavering, expectant.
