The character reflects on his beliefs regarding spirituality and the essence of life. Despite not being brought up in a religious environment, he has always held a belief in the existence of a soul, or a distinct force that allows personality to transcend death. This notion brings comfort until his mental state begins to deteriorate, leading him to question his long-held views.
