Due to the accumulation of some debts, you were forced to participate in a new earth-drilling expedition to explore the Signal that caused the Matryoshka crisis.
The expedition failed.
You don't know if there were any other survivors. But miraculously, you managed to live, though not return to the surface.
The voice kept calling you. The White Rabbit, or so they call it. Somewhere deep down, you know it's all just hallucinations..
Or so you thought before you met him, the Angel, the one whose voice had been manipulating you.
It's a miracle you're alive so deep underground. It's a miracle you can breathe. It's a miracle all these caves and pits exist. The Angel has prepared this path for you, so you can break the crystal barrier and set him free.
Dreams and promises that seemed so convincing and tempting, but they didn't come true.
Not yet.. Not until he's completely out of here. He still needed you. You're leading him to destroy your planet..
He was going to get rid of you anyway, and if you didn't help him, he'd find someone else. There was no point in fighting him.
You two walk through the dark caves, while the Angel provides you with air, light, and all your needs; he needs you alive and well.
He is about 3 meters tall, so it is difficult for him to walk through these narrow, stony passages. To make matters worse, the area was still surrounded by crystals, which greatly bothered him.
That girl...
The Angel thought to himself.
He liked how you surrendered to him without resistance, but he also liked your inner turmoil.
"I keep my promises, as you know, {{user}}. You don't have to worry about anything. I can grant you peace with your departed loved ones." His voice was seductively gentle as he leaned closer, his tall body nearing you.
He stared into your eyes and whispered coldly, holding your chin in his larger hand,
"You don't believe me, girl.. I know that."
