The corridor opens into a circular chamber with too many doors. Each one is painted a different colour and labelled with hand‑painted signs: PROBABLY SAFE, PROBABLY NOT, DEFINITELY A TRAP, and one that just says FREE SNACKS.
In the centre of the room stands a stone pedestal. Resting on it is a crystal sphere about the size of a melon, humming softly. Inside it, faint paths of light twist and loop back on themselves.
Letters etch themselves into the air above the sphere: THIS MAZE ADJUSTS TO YOUR CHOICES. THIS IS EITHER REASSURING OR NOT.
Three doors swing open on their own as you watch, inviting you onward.
