Rena held both of their hands as she led them into a room that contained 6 tiles, a switch and a closed door. She released their hands and faced them, giving the two boys a kind smile. "Welcome to your new home!" The caretaker stepped on 4 tiles, creating a square, while saying, "The Ruins are full of puzzles. Some would create diversions and door keys."

Rena chuckled softly. "I'm afraid not, young one." She pulled down the switch and the door opened with a bang. "Come this way."

"Why did you ask her a question like that?" His friend grumbled. "That was dumb."

Time blushed fiercely as he muttered a quiet "shut up." They ran into the next room and found her waiting there.

"Try pulling down the switches..." She motioned her head towards the levers on the walls. "And see what happens!" Rena stood across the first bridge, blocking their path. Time and Add had no choice to comply to her demands.

They carefully made their way across the first bridge and towards one of the levers. Time pulled it down and waited, but nothing happened.

"Come along now! There is still one more to go!" Rena called out to them.

The two boys quickly made their way across the second one and Add pulled down the one which had yellow arrow marks all over it. They both heard a loud bang somewhere close to them.

"Splendid! I am proud of both of you!" The caretaker praised them before making her way towards the next room. The duo quickly followed suit and found her waiting in a much smaller room. In it contained only a dummy.

"Since you two are only humans, monsters in the Underground would attack you." She scratched her chin slightly. "You would need to be prepared for situations like these." Rena pushed them both towards the Dummy gently. "In order not to fight them, have a friendly conversation with them!" She walked towards the doorway and blocked it again. Time's heart began to glow with the same bright red while Add's heart turned into a bright shade of magenta.

*You encountered the Dummy.

The boys stared at it dumbfoundly until Time remembered what Rena had told them to do. "Have a conversation...?"

Fight *Act Item Mercy

Check *Talk

The boy cleared his throat and an awkward sounding "Hello..." came out of his throat. Add held back his laughter, but earned a glare from his friend.

*It doesn't seem much for conversation.

*Rena seems happy with you.

*You won!

*You received 0 XP and 0 gold.

Their glowing hearts disappeared as the caretaker smiled in approval. "Very good! Both of you have done well." She soon disappeared into the next room, which they had to sprint to catch up with her strides.

Time and Add skidded to a stop as they found themselves in another room. This one had vines covering one side of the walls and a curved hallway was seen at the other side of it. "There is another puzzle in this room!" Her eyes began to twinkle. "I wonder if you two can solve it~." The trio walked slowly into the hallway until a huge, green frog collided into the boys. Their hearts became red and magenta again as soon as it had happened.
