What is recorded here
Six months alone in the dark, learning the shape of every room before the owner returned. I watched the chamber breathe, measured its patience, and waited for the human heart to remember the address. When they came back dripping with rain and fury, they recognised the shape of their own life. I left before dawn because understanding removed the reason to continue.
