Upon hearing this unsettling truth from Bookstaver, Enzo found it difficult to believe. Yet, in that moment, the gravity of Bookstaver's words left no room for doubt.

Bookstaver continued, "In his struggle against the curse, he seemed to have glimpsed something that led to the corruption of his soul, resulting in his downfall."
"However, in light of this—"
At this juncture, Bookstaver hesitated, a lingering uncertainty evident in his demeanor. He then added, "I suspect that Maude orchestrated this deliberately. He has always been audacious, often undertaking the most unexpected actions."
"Deliberately orchestrated?"
Enzo echoed softly.
A frown creased his brow as a torrent of thoughts surged through his mind, recalling the Endless Fire that Maude had deliberately left behind—an artifact acquired in the interstices of time.
