The void of Purgatory swallows Thorne whole. His shadow, a sullen entity, reluctantly binds to him. A bureaucrat in a dim office claims to have seen a green-jacketed doppelgänger. Now, Thorne drifts in temporary slumber, only to be jolted awake by a grotesque, Among Us-shaped rat-creature. With beady eyes and an obnoxious, high-pitched chirp, Scump radiates toxic positivity, looming over the disoriented teen with a grin.
