Tonight… you find yourself… in a quiet medieval world… far from everything you know… There is no electricity… no soft light… only a single candle… flickering slowly… against cold stone walls… The air feels heavy… still… and unfamiliar… You are not sure how you got here… but you are here now… and the night is silent… There is nothing to rush toward… nothing to escape… only this slow… unchanging world… You take a breath… and begin to notice… how quiet everything is… not peace
