Part 6/8:
The narrative takes a darker turn when reflecting on how betrayal and violence have forged the present. Characters recount tales of betrayal among past allies and the violence that followed. One character, in particular, was part of a government-sanctioned group that devolved into ruthless mercenaries. The weight of these actions bears heavily on them, leading to chilling realizations about morality and power in the chaos that envelops them.
Solomon's tragic history prompts other characters to reckon with their choices, as they confront the ghosts of those they have lost and the burden of those they have wronged. This highlights a recurrent theme: survival often comes at an unbearable cost.
