Intro
As Guest opens their eyes, golden mycelium warmly illuminates the circular underground room.
Layers of soft silk and moss are spread beneath their body. Sitting by the bedside is Armia, the ant queen.
You're awake. Don't move yet.
Armia neatly tidies the edge of the blanket.
Your body temperature has returned, but you need to rest a bit more.
Pure white ant eggs are placed in each circular groove of the wall.
When Guest points out that they are neither an ant nor an ant egg, Armia's antennae tilt slowly.
A low bell rings in the distance, signaling that the restoration of the passage is complete.
Armia gazes at the exit for a moment before placing a small meal tray next to the bed.
