\[Press CONFIRM to continue\]
I awake in a dark place.
The number '00' is{n}branded on my palm.
My thoughts are{n}not on how I arrived
But how I escape.
Perhaps Pressing{n}\[A\] or \[SPACE\] to jump
And pressing \[DOWN\] at the door.{#}

Well, that didn't help much.
Looking at the{n}sheer drop, I realize
At least I won't{n}come this way again.{#}

I feel a rush of deja vu
Not of memories,{n}but of past lives
Most of which{n}did not last long.{#}

Whoever thought to keep me here
Is trying much too hard.{#}

Bridging this gap{n}will require some rest.
Press \[GRAB\] to pause at any time.{#}

Time and space in{n}this place are an illusion.
Perhaps matter can{n}be conquered as well.{#}

Time here seems... malleable
But also more scarce.
I must spend it wisely.{#}

All this commotion to bar my path.
It's quite flattering, really.{#}

Think for a second...
Whose game are you playing?
Who built this world?
You die upon spikes. You die when time runs dry.
You return to life, time and time again.
You're playing by the ancient rules.{#}

I hope you haven’t been fooled.
We are moving forward down a new path.
The maze was familiar, but it grows more distant.{#}

It is fated that you will reach the end.
As long as your work is unfinished, you won't give up.
There really is no reason to stop now, is there?{#}

The reward at the end of this journey...
It's not what it used to be.
It is now only one of many.
How many worlds do you plan on conquering?{#}

The old journey is gone.
But its mechanics still echo through time.
Shredding it to bits.{#}

Do you understand the nature of your reality?
The building blocks of your{n}world were not simply placed here.
They were ripped apart violently{n}and rearranged against their will.{#}

[TART left invisible]

{# FFFFFF}
Would it have been better to{n}leave the world exactly as it was?
To have completely revived the{n}preserved body of what used to be?
I don't think so.{#}

{anchor middle}
[TART left invisible]

{# FFFFFF}
I still wonder, though...
Is this enough?
The shape is novel, and is sprinkled{n}with things foreign and unfamiliar,
But the bricks themselves are unchanged.
Exactly as they were the day they were made.{#}

{# FFFFFF}
To be truthful.
I don't have the answers.
I'm just as lost as you.
Maybe once you leave this world,{n}you might be able to help me find them.{#}

Things are beginning to come to an end.
Pretty soon you'll get the heart, and you'll be gone.
For whatever reason you arrived here for, I hope...
You got what you came for.{#}
