Chapter 14

Synopsis
Good news: we made it out of the first Corner alive!

The “green” section of the game is, as far as I can tell, compete! We found the first key card and have officially made our way through the Red Door. Go us!

Though I guess it’s not all good news. Sean, my Contact, tells me he’s being followed. There’s no way this isn’t related to Exit/Corners.

I can’t help him while I’m trapped in here, so all I can do is hope that he stays safe.

After clearing our heads a bit, we went and solved the first puzzle in the red section. It was a number-based puzzle that centered around a man with a strange condition.

Rae made some off-colour jokes about having one arm, which made Liza pretty upset. He later apologized, thank goodness. I don’t think those two hate each other as much as they’d like us to believe.

Rae was acting a little suspicious, so I followed him back into the main hall. There, I caught him using his Gemini, which he had previously told me he hadn’t touched.

But right as we were heading back to rejoin the others - WHAM! He slams his Gemini right into a wall.

So here I am, wondering what the hell just happened.
