It's too late to apologize.

- It’s too late to apologize. The ritual is already underway. - It will not take long. The ritual never does. - What should have ended here never did. - The ceremony continues, though no one remembers why. - The ruins do not ask for faith. They ask for repetition. - Push through silent devotion and carry the offering onward. - Carry the offering. Ignore the silence. - An offering must be made. The ruins remember how. - Do not ask what waits below. - Something beneath the ruins is still waiting for an answer.
