THIRD PERSON'S POV

Date: ???

————————

"Let's play"

Those two words were repeated, over and over again by this voice, a voice that seemed to be following them wherever they went.

Passing multiple rooms and following the arrows for an extremely long amount of time, no breaks or stopping, not until they made it out of this tiring and never ending labyrinth.

Every arrow would lead them back to where they started or somewhere that they have already been in. It was a cycle of the same shitty rooms and no exit, unless there was one, just hidden in plain site.

Emma and Ray have been through a monitor room 154 times in total, there are 34 monitor rooms with arrows. They keep appearing in the same rooms but with slightly different features.

Even when following the same directions lead to a different place, the rooms they connect back to are random every time. None of them could figure out any solutions to this maze. The laws of physics and time are a complete mess.

Every last thing about this place is unstable, it all is a complete mess. There's no rhyme or reason here. It's not just this space that is nonsensical. Is this a dream? An illusion?

Ray and Emma sit down on the wooden planks for a some time just to get a break and to figure out a plan, a plan to get out of this one heck of a mess.

Ray's expressions show how annoyed he really is with this stupid and embarrassing situation. On the other hand, Emma is doing some what fine, I mean not complaining and cursing like Ray but still annoyed.

With Ray's current state, Emma feels a bit hesitant to ask him the question but packs up the courage to say something!

"Hey, so since "Him" is able to do all of this, I wonder how he does it" Emma says with hints of nervousness in her voice as Ray responds with a more annoyed tone than before.

"AS IF I'D KNOW!!!" The raven haired kid just gets more mad, but don't worry Emma isn't that scared of him, just embarrassed by his actions. The dude continues on with another set of words that perks up another conversation between the two.

Using a blade to open the canned food, Ray continues to talk, "However I did realized something, the try form of 'The Seven Walls'" Sweat drips form his face, either from the realization or from stress, lame.

First, the weird "head North/East/South/West Ri and other shenanigans" and next the strange words that sound like a story. Using those coordinates will only lead back to the same place. Norman did mention how a place like "The Seven Walls" don't exist at all.

"It's probably not something like that...'The division between "Him" and us' this maze is a place where "Him" can do whatever he pleases to do, to make space where we won't ever pass" Ray finish's off with eating a spoonful of canned food that he opened.

"Space and time?!" Emma questions his comment that he replies with a simple yes. "If you think back to the mark we saw at the temple, we can use that as a hint, it's a cube and a hourglass" Ray continues on.

He points out that the cube represents the "East, North, South, West, Sky, Earth" while the hourglass is talking the second half of the riddle, it's all about time. When the riddle says "when the arrows in the sand cease" is when time stands still.

The "Front and Back, Left and Right, Top and Bottom" along with "Time" creates 7 in total. And with those he can regulates this world and create these "physical walls". Space time itself is the physical limit, or that's all they can assume for now.
