"𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄 𝐖𝐀𝐒 𝐀 cliff." Norman repeated.
...
"A... Cliff?" Emma questioned, staring at him with a worried look in her eyes.
"The drop is way more than enough to kill someone. Sister wasn't lying to us, and the demons weren't taking us lightly. That cliff just makes security unnecessary." He added, continuing to stare at them.
"Are you saying we can't escape across the wall?" Emma asks, her tone turning a bit disappointed.
"No... There is a way." Norman said.
. . .
"So, I ran to one end of the wall. It split into two there. One part stayed flush with the cliff, and the other part flanked our house. They formed roughly sixty-degree angles each." Norman explained to the group, as he drew it out on a piece of paper.
"As for the two areas within the walls, they practically mirrored each other. Both sides had the exact same scenery."
...
"Basically, Grace Field House here, is compromised of six adjacent areas on a hexagonal plot surrounded by cliffs."
"We're in Plant 3, and this area to the west of it... That's likely HQ. It was the only one with a bridge. Given that there are cliffs everywhere else, that is our only possible escape route."
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Everyone turned around, to see Phil opening up the door.
"Norman! Mom's calling for you!" He says cheerfully.
"Tell her I'll be right there!" Norman responds, with a similar positive attitude.
"Okay!" Phil said with a smile, before moving to shut the door.
...
"Well, I should get going." Norman says.
"W-Wait a sec!" Ray exclaimed, turning his head to look in the direction he was going.
"You can have this back. I didn't use it." He said, handing Ray back the device he made to get rid of the trackers.
"You... You were planning on coming back all along? Didn't you say you'd live on with us? Then why? Was that all..." Ray asks in annoyance, grabbing onto his arm with slight force.
"...A lie, yeah. Sorry." Norman said with a soft smile.
"In order to keep everyone alive, I couldn't afford to make a single mistake. Running away would have thrown a spanner in the works. Even the slightest change to our plans would be too much to risk. I want to eliminate all chances of failure.. Don't try to talk me out of this. My mind's made up."
