    Summary

    Ah, life. Just when you think luck's finally gone your way. You'd managed to make it into your first-choice college, and was halfway through the third semester; you were going to be a nurse, just like how you'd wanted to be. Your mother was proud, and your step-father was, as always, cracking jokes - except now he had a new arsenal of doctor jokes he could use.

    Night walks had always been a passion of yours. As a preteen and onwards, your neighbors always invited you along to walk around the city you lived in at night. When they'd moved, you'd never stopped. By the time you were packing for college you knew almost every footprint of your city.

    A mountain looms over the college campus, mysterious down to the last inch. Mt. Ebott, you recall someone saying. In your dorm, your window faces the mountain, and at night it looks beautiful when the moon crests over the peak. You decide it wouldn't hurt to hike up there during the weekend, and come back down before classes start again on Monday. It would be like you never left.

    Yeah, except for when you came across a cave and the vines tangled onto your ankles and dragged you into a pit.
