You take the strange object from Mung’s outstretched hands.
It’s oddly shaped, heavy, and feels almost alive in your grip. Turning it over, you realize you have no idea how it’s supposed to be held. No matter which way you adjust it, it feels both awkward and… right at the same time.
The artifact is mesmerizing. As you stare into its shifting, glowing surface, your grip tightens involuntarily. You don’t want to let go. Everything else—Mung, the cave, the chaos behind you—fades into the background, distant and irrelevant. It’s just you and this… thing.
Your mind sharpens its focus on the object, and suddenly, a face forms within the glow. It stares back at you, vague and undefined yet disturbingly familiar. You blink, trying to make sense of it. Is this your imagination? Is the artifact playing tricks on your mind?
