Chapter 5: Can You Face Your Demons?

Cornelius agrees to go on a date with Charlotte, but his excitement is short-lived as he's transported to the underworld realm of Tophet. There, he's confronted by the whispers of lost souls, which stir up his guilt and self-doubt. The voices question his ability to protect those he loves and whether finding Saturn, his twin sister, will bring him peace or more pain. The chapter ends with a flashback to Cornelius's childhood, where he's playing with his mother, Merissa, before a sudden and tragic event changes everything.
