Additionally, Theo is first introduced during this chapter.

After crossing the collapsing bridge and narrowly escaping death, thanks to the Bird, Madeline arrives at the titular Forsaken City, an abandoned city apparently built by a mega-corporation, but where no one ended up settling. As Madeline continues to climb Forsaken City, which is filled with traffic-light blocks and city decor, she ends up finding Theo and meeting him for the first time. He is slightly hidden within the city's "main path", so meeting Theo isn't guaranteed. Theo ends up presenting himself in a much more flamboyant way, being in awe because of the city; he does end up rejoicing because of Madeline's presence. Her silence ends up scaring him to some degree though, to the point where he ends up calling her a "lone wolf type" prior to even knowing her name. Madeline then subsequently introduces herself, and states that she has "a lot on her mind". Theo reacts positively, saying that she couldn't have "come to a better place". She than asks where he comes from: apparently, Theo lives in Seattle. Madeline then talks about what she knows about the city itself. After Madeline asks Theo about why he is present at Mount Celeste, he answers that he "has a thing for abandoned places", and also considers himself a budding photographer, often posting online via InstaPix (a parody of Instagram). Madeline then states that she is heading for the summit, something that directly ends up telling Theo about how determined she is. Theo, on the other hand, mainly wants to explore the ruins around the mountain. He knows that he is doing something irresponsible, but then suppresses his "holding-back" instinct, saying "YOLOOOOOOOOO!!" Madeline then continues up the mountain, without Theo (for the moment), until she ends up reaching the Celeste Mountain Memorial, a memorial dedicated to those whom perished on the climb (towards the summit). Right beside, seeing an unlit campfire, and realizing how tired she is, she chooses to light up the campfire, put down her backpack and sleep for some time. The Bird makes a reappearance, landing on her head. She then contemplates whether her decision to climb the mountain was a mistake or no.
