But now, it just felt like an empty dark cave, suffused with an overwhelming sense of unease.
When she took her first hesitant steps into the cave, the air grew heavy, clinging to her skin like a shroud of uncertainty.
The soft light of the sun filtering through the crevices cast long shadows that danced ominously on the walls, amplifying Delphine's anxiety.
