South Wing Alcove Death-Trap Door

The alcove door to the south wing is the final barrier between Jamie and the trap. Maxtible shuts it after demonstrating the spikes, sealing Kemel inside the corridor to await Jamie’s arrival. The door’s closure is symbolic, representing the point of no return for Kemel and the inevitability of the ambush. It also serves as a physical obstacle, ensuring Jamie cannot retreat once he enters the south wing. The door’s role is both practical and narrative, marking the transition from preparation to execution.
