[Maya's Heart]

[Everything goes white, almost blindingly, as you enter Eveningstar's heart.... it's so overwhelming that you forget, for a moment, what you're doing, why you're here, and details about yourself start to slip---]

[but then it all stops, abruptly, and your senses return to you]

[ Sliding off her along with the junk 8( ]

Did you not hear it? That child...

[with all the stuff gone, you're feeling a lot more clear-headed!]

[and your descent is almost at an end! You can see the lantern]

What child??

[thank the gods that ride is almost over]

... No... nevermind...

[ Can they stand yet??? He's going to attempt to stand ]

Hearing voices isn't something that you say no, nevermind to, Wave.

[flops around a bit]

[they've now reached the base and it's solid ground! The waterfall is several feet away, but before it is an alter with several mystical looking items]

. . . Ah!

Oh-

[ Reaching for the key?? ]

These look more relevant than the toys.

But which is the right one . . . ?

[Rolls over and scrambles to her feet, ow ow sore but at least she doesn't feel the cold 8|;]

[When you touch the key, a feeling of anxiety overcomes you]

[You have something important to do, but you're worried you can't do it]

[reaching out to pick up the jar :|a]

[ Promptly dropping the key B|;;; ]

Be careful... I do not like this.

[when you touch the urn, you hear the sound of something breaking!]

[but as you hold it, a warm pride fills you]

. . . Pride . . .

Wave, what did you feel?

Fear... or something like it. Fear of failing at something important.

Hmm . . .

[Reaching for the next object.]

[when you touch the scroll, you feel like concentrating hard! You have to memorize this!]

[....because you'll get in trouble if you don't]

[ After a moment's hesitation, reaching for the stone as well ]

[FROWNING]

People place far too much value on rote learning.

[you feel like this is something really precious to you, but you don't understand why]

[but at the same time, it feels empty]

[ He frowns down at the stone for a long moment, before slowly putting it back down. ]

What was it?

Concentration and having to memorize something, or else there will be trouble.

And you?

Something precious, but... empty.

I suspect we should take them with us.

. . . Admittedly, I am somewhat hesitant to remove items we're not sure about. I'd not want to harm her by accident.

....Please, wait....

[That's a little girl's voice! And you're both hearing it]
