The System's Claws
The system weaves its tendrils firmly into every facet of our lives. We are subtly conditioned to accept its dictates, blindly following the path it paves.

Life on the Inside
The walls are always there. You can’t get away from them. They're a constant weight of your situation. Days melt into weeks, then months, each one feeling like the last. Time slows down. There are routines, small rituals that help you survive with the monotony. Meals at specific times, headchecks, yard time when it's allowed. You learn to live in the moment in the ordinary. A clean cell, a good meal – these become your victories. You build relationships with fellow inmates, finding solidarity in shared experiences. You have to be wary of the power dynamics, the unwritten rules that govern life inside. There’s always a threat lurking – violence, manipulation, or simply the crushing hopelessness. But sometimes, against all odds, there are moments of beauty. A shared joke, prison a spontaneous song, a quiet conversation that speaks volumes. These fleeting glimpses of humanity remind you that even in this world away from the outside, there is still hope.

The moon casts long silhouettes across the vast landscape, revealing remnants of a world longforgotten. Each shard uncovered is a incomparable clue to the puzzle of this extinct world.
A sense of wonder permeates in the air, reminding us that even in loss, there are hints of a grand past.
