Over the next <span class="mu-s">year</span>, you stop visiting the tunnel entirely. The demands of your new business, the sudden interest you've received from many women, as well as your new friends in higher society have all started to weigh you down. Regardless, you don't miss it much. You give the keys back to your landlord.
Discarded and forgotten, it isn't long before the entire building is abandoned. The apartment building is condemned as the unusual geometry of the tunnel bleeds into the real world- with Unit 7 being totally crushed by it, forcing everyone to evacuate. The space the tunnel occupied ended up being in the real world, as normal. You drive by the apartment sometimes now, motioning to your chauffeur to bring you closer to see the abandoned building- the weird cancer-like growth of the tunnel along its side. It's almost like it gave up being so weird, settled into routine, and then died. Oh well. You're off to the climate summit to accept an award for saving the polar ice caps anyway. You suppose, in some way, some wonder in the world has died. But you've gained everything you could possibly ever want from it. So why does it bother you?

Hey everyone, thanks for playing The Inside Place! I hope you liked it. This one ended up going on wayyyy longer then I wanted with its slow once per 2 day update speed. Not sure why, guess it fit the atmosphere, but I think I was just being lazy and unmotivated. Still glad we could finish it.
As per tradition, I'll ask 3 questions for anyone interested in answering them.
>This Quest was heavily inspired by liminal-space horror. Did you find the concept of the tunnel scary or unnerving?
>There were some hints and clues of the tunnel's nature of basically being whatever people wanted it to be. Did you figure that out before it was revealed?
>I didn't include many characters in this quest to make it more personal and introspective, but I feel there may have been too few by the end. Do you think being alone with the MC's thoughts and introspection was interesting enough, or should there have been more supporting characters to bounce off of?
