...¤....¤. no real geometry in the caves. you may .¤.¤¤.....
....¤....¤ feel as if you are venturing into some ...¤¤¤....

......¤... leaving any such thing at the entrance. .¤...¤¤¤..

¤........¤ submitting to an inescapable darkness, ¤...¤..¤.¤
¤¤........ the world around you becomes more of a .¤...¤...¤
.¤¤....... manifestation of your mind, or a ..¤...¤..¤
.¤¤¤...... collective mind, with a shape and a ¤..¤...¤..

¤..¤.¤¤... inescapeable darkness, because if you ¤..¤..¤...
.¤...¤¤¤.. bring a candle or mount electrical .¤..¤..¤..
..¤..¤.¤¤. lights, the walls only serves as ..¤..¤..¤.
...¤...¤¤¤ markers to where the tiny spatial ¤..¤..¤..¤
