FINDING QUIET WITHING THE
ENDLESS MAZE WHERE SHADOWS
πππππ πππ ππππ ππ§Ύ
We move through the maze not as individuals, but as something quieter and more enduring, like a presence that lingers in every corner we pass, soft and unspoken, yet always there; the walls may shift and the paths may blur into uncertainty, but there is a steady rhythm in the way we stay side by side, as if every step is a silent promise that we will not drift apart. In a place where direction loses meaning and time feels distant, we learn that being lost is not something to fear, because in every turn and every hush, we keep finding our way back to each other, holding onto something gentle, something constant, something the maze itself cannot rewrite.

It felt heavy when I first blinked open my eyes, heavy as the absurd weight of existence itself, a nausea rising not from the body but from the cruel insistence of the thing forcing me upright, awake, into its indifferent glare. Stares pierced from every shadow, human eyes cold and probing, while my name dissolved into the void: Who am I? Why hurled into this cage? "Greenie!"β(π ππππ πππππππ πππ πππππππππ πππππ ππππ ππππππππ ππ ππππ , π ππ π ππ πππππ.) is the first absurd shout shattering the silence, a label slapped on the nothing I had become, mocking any claim to self. Crawling through the dirt, trembling with terrorβs icy grip and a curiosity that clawed despite the dread, I confronted the towering stone walls, monstrous slabs scraping the sky, their vastness a riddle laced with menace: Why so immense? What devours us from beyond? Confusion swirled in the pit of my gut, fear a living pulse, as the absurd machinery of this place whirred on, uncaring, eternal.
