   Summary

   “Lorenz?”

   “...Yes?”

   “Are we in Hell?”

   Alva thought for a moment, purposely avoiding the intensity of the younger man’s gaze. “I’m not sure where we are.”

   -

   Luca has a fit of existentialism (though far from his first) and must decide if his choices really matter at a seemingly eternal, ever-expanding Oletus Manor, while also piecing together his fragmented past with his former mentor. Alva has questions about life beyond death and the purpose of the Manor, and what that means for its residents.
