2.21: Juno Steel and the Monster's Reflection (Part 1)

Today we journey within. Within the sands of Mars, to the clinic of Hanataba; within the Theia Spectrum and its labyrinthine connections; within the mind; within the past itself.Try to throw away the past if you like, Juno Steel, but it lies within. And you can't lose your past without losing yourself... can you, little monster?Welcome to the Penumbra, dear Traveler.
