Simple Ironies of the Echo Chamber

When shadows fall across the labyrinth, do they not whisper secrets only lost souls may decipher?

In this sterile antechamber of iron, every drop of forged silence accrues to form a tide of memories. Those assembled in silent sanctity await their turn to kneel before the anvil of existence, each striking lesson steeped in morose irony.

Have we not become architects, sculpting our own cages in the guise of aspiring sanctity?

The riddle lies not within the iron gates but rather in the corridors adorned with the emblems of past dreams—a procession ignites with each footfall, echoing in a dance macabre that seeks to guide or mislead the wanderer in equal measure.

Trust in the mirror, they say, yet who knows what fractures lie behind its crisp veneer?

The initiation rite fades, as all things do, into ash and shadow, leaving but a specter of its grandeur in this post-liminal refuge. Stand firm before the gates of reflection.
