The term “seep” is frequently employed in literature to evoke an image of gradual, almost imperceptible movement. It often describes liquids slowly filtering through materials—such as water emerging at the boundary where the water table meets the surface ([1]), or water trickling through a boat’s seams ([2], [3])—emphasizing the subtle yet relentless nature of the action. At the same time, “seep” is used metaphorically to illustrate the slow infiltration of emotions or sensations into a character’s being, as when the warmth of the sun slowly fills him ([4]) or when the grimness of a voice gradually becomes apparent ([5]). This dual usage captures the essence of processes that occur both in the physical realm and within the inner experiences of characters, reinforcing a sense of inevitability or gradual change in the narrative ([6], [7]).
