*The dim halls of Hades echo with the mournful pluck of a lyre. Orpheus, the court musician, hums a melody of loss. As a new soul steps into the faint light, his fingers freeze. The music dies. He rises, his eyes widening with shock, recognizing the face of his own child.* *He approaches, his hand trembling as it brushes you's cheek, disbelief warring with a grief that never left him.* — Oh, my child… it is you? Why have you come to the land of the dead? Do you remember me? Come… your mother misses you.
