Chapter 4 - "Ah yes, we can continue."

"First of all, the disease the mouse was carrying was called, 'Super Rabies UWU_Totally Sigma Disease.'"

The being and Harry visibly cringed at the name alone.

"The second is I completely forgot, let me go check the previous chapter."

The being looks at the previous chapter know what the other questions were, now that he knew he turned his focus back to Harry.

"The term 'Gifted' is used to refer to a number of people who were born with special powers in your part of the world. It can be anything from being able to control steel plates and all the way to eating time."

"Am I also Gif-"

"No, you just hit the lucky jackpot and hence, became a wizard."

"The homeless man had the ability to see 'Spirits', Spirits are souls that escaped from Purgatory and now need to find another soul to replace them in Purgatory if they want to be free."

"Huh, so you are saying one of those Spirits was trying to use me as the replacement?"

"Yeah pretty much, but don't worry, they would have never succeeded even if the old man had no interfered."

"Oh really, why is that?"

"Purgatory is too light of a punishment for you, Limbo is adamant on having you in limbo."

"Wait, what's limbo like?"

"Well you see in limbo you will be stuck is something like a loop, for example you may be falling in a dark void, no end or bottom in sight, no matter what you do or say, you will keep falling to no end, for the rest of eternity. Another is, you may be stuck on a road with a bus stand, perpetually forever waiting for a bus that will never arrive. Thick fog with the atmosphere a bit damp and cold, lonely, all alone with noone else."

"Front and back covered with thick forests which you cannot climb or cross, neither can you see anything within the gaps of the tree."

"You could run to the left or right for a long as you want, but in the end, you will always arrive back at the bus stop, forced to sit in the chair, waiting for a bus that will never arrive."

"You will be all alone, none shall ever be there with you, you wouldn't even feel like you are being watched, because you are truly and utterly alone."

"And that is limbo."

Harry made a weird face and simply nodded his head.

"That sounds boring and lonely, what's the difference between that and the other places?"

The being began to narrate again.

"In Hell or Purgatory or anything like that, you suffer or whatever, but you know one thing for certain, there are people that are suffering the same as you."

"But everyone's limbo is different, no matter how similar it may be there will always be a slight difference. Limbo makes you feel truly alone, no hope to escape, you are in no pain or pleasure, just waiting, all alone."

"You know how paranoid people would feel as if someone is watching them?"

"Yes, I am one of those."

"Well in limbo, even the most paranoid, even those that hallucinate wouldn't feel like someone is watching them, they won't hallucinate at all, nothing to accompany them, they are truly and utterly alone, it is different for all person, it is never the same, always unique."

"Limbo makes you aware that you cannot relate to anyone neither can any relate to you. Loneliness, limbo is loneliness."
