"An alternate reality, one my teammates call the Metaverse... from what they've told me, it is a world completely shaped and controlled by cognition. Certain areas of it, called Palaces, are twisted and ruled by a single extremely distorted heart. With the strange form of this place, I'm left to wonder if our prison might be something of that nature. Perhaps our separate consciousnesses were drawn into a Palace as water is caught by a whirlpool."
