"So how did you get in here?" Andre asked. "I was trying to find you guys when I saw a spider turn into dust... it left behind this door, so I walked in..." Jayce said. "Well luckily you are safe... unlike Devyn..." Andre said. "What about Devyn?" Jayce asked. "Sigh... he fell to his death in another room..." Laney explained. "He is no longer with us..." "Oh..." Jayce said. "I'm so sorry..." "It's ok... it's not your fault... I should have held onto him longer..." Andre said. "There was nothing you could have..." Laney was suddenly interrupted by a whisper. "You failed at saving him... You are a total failure..." a whisper said. "Is anyone else here?" Jordan asked Jayce. "I'm afraid not..." Jayce responded. "You're worthless..." the whisper said. "I'm totally worthless..." Andre said. "This room... it was born after the spider turned to dust... It was built from Andre's guilt..." Laney said. "You are worthless... You failed at saving your sister... you failed at saving your best friend..." the room whispered."We should leave..." Jordan said, heading to the door. "No one leaves!" the room yelled before the doors vanished. Another door appeared in its place. "I think the room wants us to go into that door..." Jayce said. "Andre let's go..." Laney said to Andre before realizing he was missing. "Andre?" "Guys... Andre is gone..." Laney said. "Where could he have gone?" Jordan asked. Suddenly the door creaked as it opened on its own. "Leave!" the room yelled. The three entered the new door and found themselves separated again. "Guys?" Jayce called out. "Where did you go?" "Over here!" Laney called out. "I'm over here!" Jordan yelled. "Guys?" a familiar voice called from above. "Guys, I'm so sorry!" Everyone looked up to a glass ceiling. "Get them through or suffer the consequences..." the room said. "What! I can't do that!" Andre called out. "We know you can!" Jayce said. "Have more faith in yourself!" Laney called. "We believe in you!" Jordan called out. "Okay... I'll do my best..." Andre said. "Laney, take the lane to your right and keep going until you hit two paths..." Andre yelled. "Got it!" Laney responded. "Jayce, go to your right until you hit a three way split..." Andre said. "Will do!" Jayce said. "Jordan, stay put, Laney and Jayce's paths meet up with yours and from there I'll get you guys to the end..." Andre shouted. "Okay!" Jordan responded. "Andre, I made it to the two paths!" Laney shouted. "Go left and be careful because the paths get narrow and will require you to navigate yourself around holes," Andre called out. "Okay!" Laney responded, heading left. "Jayce, stay put because Laney is heading your way and the right path will require both of you..." Andre said. "Jordan, how are things down there?" "Fine so far... just losing patience..." Jordan said. "Well keep up the patience... it might take a few before Laney and Jayce get there..." Andre responded. "Okay, I'll try..." Jordan said. "Andre, I made it to Jayce!" Laney called out. "Okay... You and Jayce go through the middle path until you hit the pond with the four-spilit path... from there, take the right middle path and you'll find yourself where Jordan is..." Andre said. "Okay!" Laney and Jayce called out. A few moments pass by as Jayce and Laney make it to Jordan's location. "Okay... All three of you need to split into each path..." Andre yelled. "Jordan, you go left and complete a puzzle to get to the button... Laney, you go through the middle and solve the riddle to get to the button in the middle... Jayce, go through the left path and play the right tune to get to the button in your path... once you get to the button stop until I give the cue to press it..." "Okay!" the three said as they split into their designated paths. Jordan approached a giant jigsaw puzzle that she needed to complete to unlock a door to the button; Laney approached a list of riddles; and Jayce approached a french horn with music in front of it. Each one of them completed their tasks. First Jayce, by playing the first ten measures to "Strange Humors"; then Jordan by completing the jigsaw puzzle of the giant spider, then finally Laney after solving the riddles that lead her to the right door. "Press the button!" Andre shouted, and all at once they pushed the buttons that were at the end of their paths. A door opened up for Andre and the walls came down revealing a door for all three of them to enter. As they enter, they return to the room they were once in. Once the door vanished the original door to the main hallway returned. "Is everyone okay?" Andre asked. "We're fine thanks to you..." Laney said. "If it wasn't for you, we would have been lost for eternity..." Jayce said. "Agreed..." Jordan added. "Let's get going... We still need to find Bennett and get out of this strange place..." Andre said, with a new boost of confidence.
