[ The Styx has many stories... And it doesn't quite line up with the ones Joonghyuk knows. It's said to bless those baptized in it with invulnerability yet it's also the course, sometimes imprisonment, for damned souls. In a way, he supposes it isn't different. If Zagreus died, then it carried him back. When he reached the surface, it called him back.

[ He doesn't add more to it or clarify in what ways, whether it be motive or method. ]

Rather than revive, time winds back.
