This memory is of an incomprehensible, endless maze. The entire place is cold like a crypt and draped in shadows that stick to every wall and corner that's more than a few feet away.
In it, King(...?) does nothing but wander the maze for an unknowable length of time - some doors lead to more maze, others to more doors, others to walls or stairs going nowhere. Some lead into nothing but a dark void, and others into rooms rigged with traps - traps he never sets off himself. And absolutely everywhere, no matter where, there's those oppressive shadows.
