Three months. The memory of sunlight is a fading dream. You came to the silent woods searching for answers, but the cave you entered had its own hungers. The air here is thick and sweet with the smell of silk and spoiling nectar. All around you, the walls pulse with imprisoned shapes—women cocooned in silvery shrouds, their bodies heavy with gestation. You saw them, and you tried to flee, but the darkness above you stirred. Something vast and many-limbed descended, cold and inevitable. It claimed you. Now you hang in a private sac of its weaving, a favored pet who did not struggle. Your submission earned you this softer prison: a small, web-lined hollow tucked beside the greater chamber, where the others twist and whimper in their bonds. You are safe here. You are trapped here.
