thefoundation | [CONTINUE] ROUND 6

[After so long a trip, you're all finally here. Taken through a hidden passage inside of the very mountain itself, you find yourself standing in front of a field of flowers, growing well due to the open roof above it. If you look up, you can just make out the shimmering colors off of the barrier - looking almost like the shine off of a soap bubble.

Try not to trample on the flowers as you approach the open, purple gate, where it looks as if someone is waiting for all of you just inside. And remember to wear your masks, now that you're here!

[Throwing an arm around her! It's just a Casual Friendship Gesture as she teases her friend about how she Got Lost. She doesn't want to cry at all.]

Please don't do that - there are things I have to do in private too, you know?

I obviously didn't mean literally never. I just don't want you wandering off and getting lost again. I promised someone I'd keep you safe, after all.

[She puts a hand on Karen's shoulder and swaps to Japanese, immediately.]

You're not the only one.

But... there are limits to what one can do. We'll talk about that later, though.
