gone in

Crossed the threshold

Gone in describes entering a place, often with a sense of having committed to it: By the time backup arrived, she'd already gone in.

It can also mark the beginning of involvement in something: He'd gone in thinking it would be easy.

The phrase emphasizes the crossing of a threshold—physical, psychological, or situational.
