267. Tyson - Olivia's secret I

Ansel is not the only one who can feel that something is wrong with Mose. More than wrong. The link that connects me to Mose gets shrouded in a black fog, letting me know he is in danger of losing himself to the dark whisper of Hell. I stand fast, and immediately I get dizzy.
