Surviving alone isn't enough!
Philomena wrapped her arm around Wayne's, "My dear, how did you come to the Inverted World?"
The greed of the human heart was vividly manifested at this moment. Before, she merely wanted to survive, but now she craved more—power, wealth, freedom, and even to go to the Outer World to replace her counterpart and take away everything that belonged to the other.
The two worlds, one positive and one negative. Wayne knew he should not harbor hope for Philomena, but when push came to shove, he couldn't help but feel a twinge of disappointment. He shook his head and said, "It's a long story, I won't get into it now. Tell me, what has this world become?"
"It started two years ago..."
The Outer and Inverted Worlds share the same timeline; two years ago was November 1837. After self-implosion, the Inverted World rebooted and began a new storyline to mirror the Outer World.
