Vic's passionate enthusiasm didn't last very long. When the large door behind him slowly closed, and everything returned to darkness, his fervent heart cooled rapidly, as if drenched by a bucket of cold water, and his steps unconsciously slowed down.
Darkness and emptiness were the most direct sensations here, and every step he took echoed with the sound of chains dragging in this enclosed space.

Vic took a deep breath and whispered to himself, "It's okay," before continuing forward.
