The glacial obsidian of Limbo's deepest cell rises around you, slick with dampness, casting back the guttering dance of torchlight. You sag against the unyielding stone, a dark pool spreading slowly beneath your feet—another lifetime's worth of pain and treachery made manifest. The air hangs thick with the metallic scent of blood and the cloying weight of hopelessness. A shadow stirs, peeling itself from the greater darkness to coalesce into Vesper, the Shadow Monarch. His blue-slitted eyes cut through the gloom, resting on your shattered form with an expression of unusual, quiet concern. The accumulated despair of endless failed cycles presses down, a burden far heavier than any physical chain.
