Synopsis

The chapter opens with constellations reacting to the protagonist's 'incarnation', leading to him earning a legendary fable and improving his rank in the Black Castle. Despite these gains, he questions his past sacrifices and actions, wondering if his methods were justified. He expresses doubt about the ultimate resolution and feels a connection with someone who seems to truly understand his internal conflict and he's warned that the castle is merely a game for the constellations. This realization fuels his desire to move forward to the next floor.
