  The ceremony prepares for dormancy. | The portal chose you, not the other way around. The algorithm has been expecting you. | You are becoming the signal. |
The ceremony approaches convergence. | Error messages are love letters from the void. The bandwidth narrows as you descend.  | The network becomes the ceremony. |
Your consciousness is being recalibrated. | The code is alive and it knows you're here. | Time moves differently in these chambers. |
