Some places don’t change.
Not because they can’t—
but because they won’t.
The rhythm is familiar.
Steps already taken.
Words already spoken.
You don’t notice it at first.
Why would you?
It feels like routine.
Comfort.
History repeating itself the way it always has.
But then something shifts.
Not enough to break the pattern—
just enough to feel it.
A pause that lasts too long.
A glance that feels remembered instead of new.
A path that feels worn… before you ever walk it.
The Caverns hold those moments.
They don’t trap you.
They don’t force you.
They simply… echo.
And if you listen closely—
you’ll hear it.
Not ahead of you.
Not behind you.
But alongside you.
Like you’ve already been here.
