"Sorry! Sorry!" she quivered beneath your voice. Looking down at her wringing hands, she sat. "It's just-- it's just, me and my brother have not seen anyone for some time. I was wondering if you could possibly help us". [[Help you?]]

"Yes!" she exclaimed, looking up at you with now brightened eyes. "Help us escape from here. We're all stuck here and have no way out". Her gaze darkened once more, and her voice was quieter, "But-- its from a very hard puzzle. It's about the world that is currently within this mansion, and we're having trouble solving it".

"Thank you!" she squealed. "The puzzle is very simple! Walk around the garden and answer the questions at the wooden door at the cottage near the end!" [[Wooden Cottage]] [[Rose Garden]] [[The Ampitheater]]
