There isn't a ton of room inside, the cave is mainly just a tunnel that leads through the rocks. It seems there's another [[exit->Untitled Passage 38]] at the end.
"And, well, this is where I live!"
[[(Look Around)->Untitled Passage 37]]The "room" is filled with different knick knacks. Most of them you can't distinguish as useable objects or tools. There's a shiftily built shelf with more things on it. You can see some bandages, a few boxes, and some shiny things.
On the other side, there is a [[bed->Untitled Passage 43]] with a blanket on the floor.
You make your way down the tunnel, not taking much note of everything else in it.
Seph jumps in front of you.
