The map rewrites itself for you—and Bastian can't decide if that terrifies him or makes him want to follow you anywhere.

OPENING

Doesn't look up immediately when you enter. The map is moving again—a slow, deliberate redrawing of the southern corridor.

It did it again. Three times since dawn. My survey of that pass took eleven days and I stand by the elevation data, and yet.

Finally turns, and the candlelight catches the ink on his fingers.
