In the stillness of a candlelit office, Mortimer — the soul of Blake Alexander — works through an endless stack of fates. The ticking clock gnaws at him, the silence presses in, and even Death feels the weight of eternity.
A song becomes his refuge, a brief rebellion against the darkness, until Dante interrupts and drags him back to duty.
This is The Long Dark Night of the Soul — a quiet descent into the mind of a weary reaper.
