Well now, Zealark's stalking influence is finally getting through to Albus.
After repeating so many loops, and it's taken at least 3 years per loop at this point, that means Albus has been at it for well over 100 years. That's a damn good way to lose his emotions to the grind as he focuses solely on speedrunning the whole rogue-like journey.
Good to see he still rekindled those (violent) thrills.
