bracket-warren-03-the-small-together-v1
Zoom into the innermost bracket of a deep nesting warren. Three creatures curled asleep in the central chamber. The purr radiates outward as concentric paren-rings ()()() rippling up the tunnels. The SAME deep nesting that read as anxiety-burrow now reads as friendship-warren: depth that was loneliness is safety, because Scramble is already curled there.
