Continue following the Reformer
"The statuaries are not far now. Watch your step, the flagstones here are uneven."
The Prisoners' Lamps
Further into the prison, you begin to see inmates. Faint lights, shuffling across distant bridges. Hunched figures with lamps chained to their wrists.

"See those lamps that the condemned carry?" asks the Reformer. "They impose a distortion of distance. A prisoner's proximity to the exit is determined by how much they have changed since they entered. The more they change, the closer they are to freedom."

"Some are more mutable than others. And severity of sentence may vary." The Reformer raises his lamp over a cavernous well. Light does not reach the bottom. "Those cast into the deepest reaches must change beyond all recognition."

"The warrens are not far now. I cannot wait to show you my work."

The Prisoners' Lamps
Further into the prison, you begin to see inmates. Faint lights, shuffling across distant bridges. Hunched figures with lamps chained to their wrists.

"Those lamps impose a distortion of distance," says the Conformer in a monotone. "A prisoner's proximity to the exit is determined by how much they have changed since they entered. The more they change, the closer they are to freedom."

"Some are more mutable than others. And severity of sentence may vary." The Conformer raises her lamp over a cavernous well. Light does not reach the bottom. "Those cast into the deepest reaches must change beyond all recognition."

The Prisoners' Lamps
Further into the prison, you begin to see inmates. Faint lights, shuffling across distant bridges. Hunched figures with lamps chained to their wrists.

"See those lamps?" asks the Performer, elbowing you in the ribs. "They impose a distortion of distance. A prisoner's proximity to the exit is determined by how they have changed since they entered. The more they change, the closer they are to freedom."

"Some are more mutable than others! And severity of sentence varies." The Performer throws a pebble into a cavernous well. After some time, a faint "ouch" echoes from below. "Those cast into the deepest reaches must change beyond all recognition."
