Directory of Lost Souls | TeukChulX.A. and I look around us as we try to find a perfect place to rest and talk to each other. No matter where we look, it’s just the same—a space that extends to an even larger space as we move forward. This city is limitless. It’s never-ending. Souls just come and go.
