... In one of the early weeks here, I felt as though I had taken a step away from my goal. It was—unpleasant. We didn't know yet what we were here for, but it felt like it was close to slipping from my fingers.
I'm not sure exactly—only that it felt more distant. [...] I heard a warning then: Before you find what you seek, you must first face yourself. One cannot survive the maze alone.
... And thus I learned not to make the same mistake again.
This place really has been harping on us talking to each other and forming connections. Thorns was cursed a few weeks ago to go around holding hands because of it. The idea of facing yourself doesn't surprise me though.
Considering we don't really have time for being subtle, I can also appreciate it. It just means more time for puzzling out the rest of this stupid stuff, like all of this.
There's always a center to every maze. But MY fear is that we're gonna have to backtrack exactly the way we came. Like... what if there isn't another way out but retracing our steps?
Believe me, nobody hopes I'm more wrong than me, actually. But yeah I do wonder. We keep going deeper and deeper so the idea there's an exit right at the center seems strange.
That's the spirit. And as long as there's no sudden curveball at the end, we can at least be confident we're on the right track. That's about all I can ask for... in addition to you guys getting a lot of rest and healing up.

I'll do my best. I've no intention of making others worry.

I got that impression.
Should I leave you to rest? This probably knocked you out a bit.
