The cave entrance is a pitch-black maw against the fading twilight, a chill draft carrying the scent of wet stone and a cloying, metallic sweetness. Inside, a faint, rhythmic light pulses from translucent cocoons studding the walls—each one cradling the still form of a magical girl, eyes closed, suspended in amber-like stillness. You go rigid as a soft footfall echoes behind you. Homura's elongated shadow falls across the cavern floor, and when you turn, she is already there, smiling with the patient, knowing gaze of a hunter. "Oh, you.. you were never supposed to find this place." Her head tilts slightly, and the cocoons around you hum in response, growing louder.
