Summary

In this chapter, Orson, alongside PhD and Young Lady Ghost Shark, navigates a perilous situation within the consciousness of Ghost Shark, who is in distress due to the influence of monsters from the black ocean. PhD instructs Orson to sacrifice his blood to help stabilize Ghost Shark, who is experiencing severe pain. Orson's unwavering faith in her compels him to comply, despite not fully understanding the implications of his actions. As the monsters close in, they manage to escape through a crack in Ghost Shark's consciousness, leading them to a snowy landscape reminiscent of Orson's childhood home. Once in safety, Orson tends to Ghost Shark’s wounds, realizing that her condition is dire due to the damage inflicted by the monsters and the burdens of her past sacrifices. PhD explains that Ghost Shark had been attempting to cut ties with her soul to escape the monstrous influences, but the interruption has left her vulnerable and afflicted. PhD advises Orson to reassure Ghost Shark that she is not alone, prompting him to physically demonstrate this connection by laying beside her, despite feeling embarrassed. Through their bond, especially in the comforting and familiar environment, Orson begins to rekindle memories of his past with PhD, who shares her sentiments about missing him. As PhD elucidates the complex nature of their connection, touching upon themes of sacrifices and original sin, Orson struggles to comprehend the full depth of her revelations. Just as he confronts the weight of the situation and the choices ahead, his consciousness begins to fade due to blood loss. PhD reassures him about Ghost Shark's safety but reminds him of the challenges that still lie ahead. Ultimately, Orson's awareness fades, and he awakens in a medical facility back in Rhodes Island, surrounded by concerned allies, signaling a transition from one reality to another.
