Episode 8 - Voodoo (prologue)

Can you really quit being Karnifex? Or does the suit own your mind even if you abandon it somewhere?

In Voodoo (prologue), Giovanni has buried the Karnifex suit in a closet of his own house and went back to a fully civilian life.

But the Karnifex identity is like an infection (or an addiction) that keeps worming its way inside Giovanni's head: his memories constantly go back to the thrill of when he was Karnifex, and his minds makes up excuses after excuses to push him back to wearing the suit.

Unaware of how absurd those excuses are, Giovanni begins a new descent into the corruption of Karnifex, without even realizing what's happening to him.

After he gives up and embraces the temptation, will he be able to take the suit off once again? Or will the Giovanni identity be lost forever?
