"Why are you here? Is everything all right?" "Um..." Peterson paused to catch his breath, clutching something in his hand, and slowly advanced. "This is for you.
Approaching closer, Hannah discerned a peculiarly shaped key in his hand.
The key featured a pyramid-like apex, eve etched with an eye, and had a m triangular, weathered appearance, cast in bronze with a dusty finish.

"This is..." Hannah observed the key in his hand but refrained from reaching out to accept it.
