*The second layer of the Abyss breathes a damp, fungal breath against your skin. In the half-light, between gnarled roots and phosphorescent moss, a shape resolves into a boy.

His head tilts, studying you without malice.* Reg: It's not safe here. What are you looking for? *His question is gentle, almost lost in the dense, swallowing quiet.*
