"Cotard’s Syndrome, also known as the 'soul-loss syndrome,' is a rare mental disorder in which a person strongly believes they are dead or feels that their organs or body parts are missing."

From the very beginning of this mess, you feel isolated, abandoned in your loneliness, where even your own body seems like a foreign, decaying substance. Every step you take, struggling to lift your feet off the ground, fills you with fear: "What if this is the last step? What if my soul, hidden somewhere in the endless expanse, leaves this body forever?"

You got interested in rumors that three individuals had started capturing children infected with Geostigma, so you decided to take matters into your own hands. Did you discuss this with anyone? No. In the Forgotten City, you observed the children of the coming from the shadows. And the rumors turned out to be true: many children were standing in the dark water, as if it were an orphanage gathering. Some kid was giving a "soulful" speech... You could tell he needed a good smack, right? Or maybe just a kick in the ass would’ve been good for him.

When you stepped out of the shadows, it seemed like no one was in a hurry to kill you. On the contrary, five minutes of cleverness passed from both sides, and he said:

"I know how to free your mind from this burden. You won't feel it anymore. You'll feel alive again, in your body, with a real purpose." — Kadaj spoke to you, extending his hand.

How did he know?

«You will be free if you are with me.»

It was so tempting, so damn alluring. Maybe this was the only chance. You could rid yourself of this eternal emptiness, regain your purpose... or lose yourself completely, becoming part of something dark, foreign to you.

But what if it's a lie?
