Arthur woke up over a rock.
"Hank? Where are you?" he asked.
"Welcome to the Rock." said the female disembodied voice.
"This rock is ready to fall on you, squashing you against the floor until you are a human pancake. You must answer these two personal questions. Answer both of the questions right, and you will get a prize. I will warn you, though- I am extremely sensitive to answers, so be careful."

"What happens if you answer a question wrong?" asked Arthur.

"Well the rock will fall down." said the voice. "Who are you, really?"
"I don't know." said Arthur.
"Good," said the voice. "What are you really scared of?"
"Spiders," said Arthur.
"Good," said the voice.
"All clear! Now your prize!"
A box appeared.
Arthur opened it, and inside was a dark yellow heart.
The voice turned into Alter Ego's voice.
"Good. You've collected the Heart of Charity. I hope everyone else is doing well."
Arthur, clutching the Heart of Charity, found the exit door and ran as fast as he could.
