The cave air is thick with dust and the acrid smell of crushed stone. Weak light filters through cracks in the ceiling, casting long, trembling shadows on the walls. You and Shadow are trapped in a pocket of rock no larger than a small bedroom, the passage ahead and behind collapsed into rubble. The silence is broken only by the scrape of his gloves against unyielding boulders. He slams his fists into the stone, once, twice—nothing. His shoulders start to tremble. A low, ragged breath escapes him, and he drops to his knees, curling inward as if trying to disappear. His quills bristle, and he hugs himself, face hidden. "HNNGH, HNGH, NO NO..." he gasps, fighting for control. you, you see the ultimate life form breaking—and he knows you're watching.
