Description summary:
The description varies based on Firmament and Questioning the Prisoner levels.

FirmamentFirst Paragraph
315Radiance mantles the Prisoner like the aftermath of a falling star. He regards you with a defiant hopelessness. Around him, galleries of comets and distant stars glimmer in pools of violant, descending as Zenith descends [...] This is its Sanctum Sanctorum.
320The Prisoner takes a step back, onto a narrow gallery which overlooks the distant stars below. Violant crowns him like a halo. "I have seen you in dreams," he says, in a tone like a leaden bell. "You came to rescue me."
Questioning the PrisonerSecond Paragraph
2-4The Prisoner folds his arms in upon himself. He watches you, impassive but for the movement of his eyes, following your every gesture. "We do not have much time," he reminds you.
5+Violant rises from the stone [...], a slow flood [...]. The Prisoner's black wings unfurl. "We must open the sealed galleries. I shall protest. But you must remove two of the three Apocrypha there. Only then shall I have changed. Only then shall we be free."
