"What are you looking for, my dear?"

"The life you promised to steal back for me."

"Ran out of patience waiting on me?"

"I just figured why use a hammer to kill a fly when I have a zapper."

"So you're doing it without me?"

"You've got a problem with that?"

"No problem at all," Andromalius clarifies. "Let me just get out of your way."

"Good, I think it's in that room over there."

"They're all the same room to me, dear. But you go right ahead."

And as he says it, all the rooms become one big room with a table at the centre.

"Want to hold my snake?" he asks, and laughs.

"Why not!" I put on a brave face. "It won't bite, right?"

"This harmless little thing. Well; not the people it likes."

"And you're not just telling me that to fatten me for the kill?"

"I told you before. I never tell lies."

Then he disappears and the treasure map throws off its veil of darkness, and finds me first.
