Not long after first embarking,
the vehicle seems to have pulled in.

Although this doesn’t feel familiar yet,
things should change after a fight or three.Station #2: Restoration

They are things that we’ve met at one point.
This may be another such encounter.
Or, they might be beings that we will meet at some point.Station #3: Sinkage

A sorrowful and gloomy cry is heard.
As tempting as it is to stick around and hear its cry,
we can’t stay for too long.
To reach the next station, there’s no choice but to face it.Station #4: Reunion

Those are the ones that relentlessly chased us once before.
Seeing them confront us yet again...
Why, it could almost make me sick.Station #5: Insulation

Roaring thunder shakes the air.
Occasionally, the darkness is pierced by a purple bolt of lightning.
The sound grows closer.
The lights glow brighter.
It becomes clear what awaits us.Station #6: Pickup

It seems the thunderous hums still linger.
No, that’s incorrect.
The sound is similar but not quite the same.
The scent of rust stains and burnt meat brushed past us.Station #7: Headlessness

Many reflections and refractions were suffered.
Vertigo induces the urge to tear my head off.
Managing to hold in the impossible impulse to vomit,
a being came into sight that made me glad
that my urge stopped as a mere thought.Station #8: Existence

Those corporate drones weren’t the only beasts known for regeneration.
Looking back... there was also a being that took from what it fought.
It would mimic them as its own.
A being that covered its existence in what belonged to others.Station #9: Serum

The logo of a corporation that once cornered us can be seen.

The slithering tongue is split into two.
Unsure of which direction to point,
it nervously extends and retracts.
Both we and it are in peril.
One wrong choice could mean being reflected off this plane.Station #11: Energization

Those are beings that we saw several stations ago.
Why they are together in one place
is a complete mystery.
Perhaps they were cast into the same location when they were refracted.
Or, they might have joined together as naturally as water conducts electricity.Station #12: Purity

It stood there, taking the form it believed to be purest.
One Sinner exclaimed that this couldn’t be possible,
but in a world as warped and twisted as this,
such a statement wouldn’t travel far.
The only exchange allowed was that of blows—dealt with weapons and arms.Last Stop: Non-self

This is the limit.
Even a short rest feels like it might eject us back to whence we came.
A single moment’s carelessness can bring all our effort to naught.
If we make it through this, we will be able to reach the terminus.
Let’s empty our minds and proceed—as if nothing were ever there.
