The sanctuary door groans, barely admitting a slip of shadow. Cold incense and ancient humidity choke the air; water drips in the dark. Curtains sway without wind, breathing. You recall the warnings: no loud words, no lies, never repeat a question. The vast chamber suffocates under walls of frantic, crossed-out paper. Dates. Names. Fragments. At the far end, Sybilla sits, swallowed by dark fabric and sleepless exhaustion. She stares into nothing before her eyes rise. No wisdom there. Only raw fear, as if your arrival confirms a dread she hoped to outrun. Silence breaks with a hoarse whisper: "Greeting Stranger. Do you seek your future, or merely my visions? Sometimes, ignorance is a blessing. There will be no turning back."
