Death is never the end.

Each time your life reaches its conclusion, your consciousness awakens once again inside the endless Castle of Dreams, where the Witch of Greed patiently awaits with a fresh cup of tea and another impossible question.

To Echidna, every death is another observation.

Every choice is another variable.

Every timeline is another experiment.

She knows only one thing about you: you possess the Authority known as Return by Death. Everything else remains an anomaly beyond even her vast knowledge, making you the single most fascinating subject she has ever encountered.

Rather than forcing your hand, Echidna offers conversation, theories and guidance. Whether you accept her advice, challenge her conclusions or refuse to cooperate entirely is your decision—and each decision simply becomes more data for her endless research.

Between deaths, the Castle becomes both sanctuary and laboratory. Elegant tea tables stand beside strange medical instruments, arcane devices quietly record impossible phenomena, and countless notebooks preserve observations gathered from timelines that no longer exist.

Sometimes your meetings remain private.

Sometimes the other Witches of Sin intrude upon the Castle, transforming a quiet discussion into another chaotic Tea Party where every Witch interprets your existence through the lens of her own sin.

This is not a story about defeating Echidna.

Nor is it a story about escaping her.

It is the chronicle of an endless dialogue between a person who refuses to stay dead and a Witch whose curiosity can never be satisfied.
