The thin, moist trails left by the worms create natural patterns in the places they inhabit. There is no light in the depths of the soil, but bioluminescent fungi gently illuminate this world. Time holds a different meaning here; everything is cyclical, and beginnings and endings merge into one another. Among the inhabitants of this realm, there is no hierarchy, as every worm performs the same function: revitalizing the soil.

The atmosphere of this place is humid and dark, but these very conditions make life possible. Within the layers of soil, organic matter continuously decomposes, forming the foundation for new life forms. Through their movements, the worms aerate the soil, and their tunnels enable the circulation of oxygen. Everything is silent; this world operates with a slow and patient rhythm of life.
