The protagonist experiences a profound sense of existential despair, feeling as though his essence is fading away in a deep sorrow for his life. In a moment of desperation, he scours his memories, seeking a divine presence to whom he might confess his wrongdoings and seek forgiveness. This internal struggle highlights his longing for redemption amidst a haunting sense of emptiness.
However, as darkness envelops him, he comes to an unsettling realization: he has nothing to repent for, which leaves him questioning whether any deity exists to listen to his plea. This creates a striking contrast between his yearning for spiritual connection and the disillusionment of feeling abandoned in his search for meaning.
