"Something is following us."

Look back
You must know.

You turn and see the Glib Performer. He sticks out his tongue and darts back into the shadows, chuckling softly.

A sudden weight at your wrist. A lamp, shackled to your arm. Piranesi begins to expand around you, staircases lengthening, walls retreating.

Varying Chaplain Description(chaplain_description_incarcerated)

You've broken the First Rule of Piranesi: Don't look back. You search for the Chaplain, but they've slipped away. You're alone, and imprisoned, and must change before you can hope to reach the exit.
Look back
You must know.
The Follower
Something halfway like a dog stands on its hind legs behind you, emaciated, eyeless. Almost hidden in shadow above its head, you spot the gleaming contours of antlers. It stretches a claw in your direction, but your Chaplain swings their lamp and sends it scurrying back into shadow.

A sudden weight at your wrist. A lamp, shackled to your arm. Piranesi begins to expand around you, staircases lengthening, walls retreating.

Continue walking, stiff-necked
Don't look back.
The Follower
You force yourself not to look back. After a few moments, you no longer feel the breath on your neck. From the corner of your eye, you catch a shadow flitting between patches of darkness. The thing behind you is gone.
