Something’s not right here. And I don’t mean the obvious—”trapped in an ancient barrow that may or may not exist” kind of wrong. I mean this. This chamber. This dead end. None of it feels real.
Think about it—we’ve been chasing shadows since we got here. The Barrow moves. The walls shift. The corridors weren’t there until we needed them to be. ███ ███ █████ led us through paths that only existed because we walked them. So why the hell are we standing here, staring at some allegedly impassable door—like this is suddenly the part where reality decides to play fair?
It’s bullshit.
███ ████ practically spelled it out for us—this place is a door. Not a tomb, not a trap, not some immovable rock. A door. Doors aren’t walls. They exist to be opened.
Which means we need a key.
And, well… we’ve got one, don’t we?
█████’█ ████. ███ ████ ████ ██—███’█ █ ███ ███████ █ ████. ███ ████ ███—███ ████—████ ███ ███████ ███ ███ █████ ████ ███ ███ ████ ██ ██.████ ██████—██’█ ██ ████████████ █████████. ██ █████. ██ ██████. ██ ███████ ██ █████████ ██████.
████ ███ ███ ███ █████ ████. ████ ███ █████ ████.
████████ ██ ████ ███ ████. ██ ████ ████ “█████” █████. ████’█ ███ █████ ███, █████ ███. ███████. ███ ███ ████████ ██████, █████’█ ████ █████ ███ █████ ██ ████ ███ ████. ██ █████ ███ █████. ██ ███████ ██.
We’re standing at the threshold of something. Even though it looks like a dead end, it’s not. It can’t be. But if we keep acting like the rules of the waking world still apply? We’ll be stuck here. Forever.
It’s time to treat all of this like the story that it is.
