The coffee shop's ambiance faded into the background as Blake absorbed the weight of Dumphries' words. The spirit world, a realm parallel to their own, held the key to Rose's salvation. But the path ahead was far more treacherous than he'd imagined.
"So, you're saying we need to enter the spirit world itself?" Blake asked, his voice barely above a whisper.
Dumphries nodded solemnly. "It's the only way to truly confront the Nemesis that has taken hold of Rose. We've been fighting shadows in this realm, but the real battle lies beyond."
Reggie leaned forward, his eyes intense. "Think of it like this, Blake. Just as the vampire city has its houses and leaders, the spirit world has its domains. The Nemesis has carved out its own territory there, and that's where we'll find Rose's essence."
Blake's brow furrowed. "But how do we even begin to navigate such a place? It sounds vast, unknowable."
