When he opened his eyes again, he found himself floating in the river of time between the Limbo of Heaven and Purgatory, between Eternity and the Void below.
Slowly, his memories resurfaced, mixing with those of Yang. He tried to cough, but he could not. He was only a soul. He wanted to cry, but he could not. He was only a soul.
All of this just because he had eaten a soul he should not have. Or rather, was that truly the reason?
Was it really just because he had eaten a soul he should not have?
No. It was more than that.
Why?
"Why am I regressing?!"
Wasn't that just a dream? How could he be regressing in time after merely seeing a dream and dying in it?
Unless…
"Did that dream kill me?!"
As Louis slowly began to realize what had just happened, he looked into the skies.
The Five Seats of radiance that oversaw Limbo.
The seats of gold… were all empty.
Why?
The Purgatory below was also empty. No specters chased him anymore.
Why?
"You fool."
"…?"
