the manipulation (read the desc for context)

After escaping the dark void, Harley breathes a sigh of relief, believing that Jake is safely by his side. But he’s terribly mistaken. Unbeknownst to him, Jake never left the void at all. Instead, Paul, the cunning master of chaos, has created an evil clone of Jake — a twisted copy designed to carry out his dark plans.

This clone, cold and merciless, lurks in the shadows, waiting for the perfect moment to strike and eliminate Harley once and for all. Meanwhile, Paul works his manipulative magic, whispering to the real Jake, trying to turn him against his old friend.

Caught in a storm of confusion and doubt, Jake struggles to resist Paul’s influence. In a fleeting, almost ghostly moment, a flicker of Harley’s smiling face appears above Jake — a brief reminder of their friendship and trust. Overwhelmed with emotion, Jake begins to cry, clinging to the hope that Harley is still the kind, true friend he remembers.

But the cruel truth is hard to face. Paul’s manipulation runs deep, and Jake slowly succumbs, torn between loyalty and the darkness creeping into his mind.

The battle for Jake’s soul has only just begun, and the stakes have never been higher.
