«You do not remember arriving. You only remember the gaze that found you first.
Call it the Gazing Abyss. It has been watching long before you opened your eyes.»
//The Descent
«You do not remember arriving. You only remember the gaze that found you first.»
«Call it the Gazing Abyss. It was watching long before you opened your eyes. There is no rope here, only chain, and every link was a promise someone failed to keep. Hold on and climb down. The way back up was never yours.»
Summoning…
//First Waking
«You again. Or someone enough like you that it hardly matters. The eyes change, the gaze does not.»
«Call me the Collector. I have done this before: the waking, the welcome, the slow unspooling of what you no longer remember losing. The relics remember what you cannot. The Codex remembers what I dare not. Not all of it wants to be found. Look around while you still can.»
Three eyes, three paths
Choose the one watching you
//Perseverance
«You passed every door and kept descending. That too, is a choice. Take this, nothing down here blooms without being fed.»
