In the Psycheverse
Psyche examines power not as mere domination but as a spiritual crossroads where desire for control reveals what we've sacrificed for it. The show recurs to figures like Faust who trade their souls for mastery, and astrological forces like Lilith that embody forbidden power and transformation, treating power as a test of whether one chooses transcendence or spiritual corruption.
