The man from the wall is no longer a mystery—he’s a scholar, a survivor, and a fellow prisoner. Dantès finally meets his neighbor face-to-face: an older Italian whose body is worn by time and captivity, but whose mind remains sharp and disciplined. The two men embrace not just with relief, but with purpose.
Their first act together? Cover their tracks. And when the old man effortlessly resets a heavy stone, Dantès begins to suspect this newcomer is no ordinary inmate.
