The hideout breathed like a living thing.

Moisture clung to the stone walls in long glistening trails, dripping steadily into the darkness below. The corridors twisted unnaturally deep underground, lined with warped wooden beams that groaned at odd hours like something shifting inside the walls themselves. No sunlight reached this place. No wind. Only the faint smell of antiseptic, blood, and damp earth lingered in the stale air, thick enough to taste with every breath. The deeper levels of the compound felt less like a human construction and more like the inside of some enormous burrow dug by a creature too old and too unnatural to belong above ground. Even the silence carried weight here. It pressed against the skin. Watched from the corners. Waited.
