The labyrinth is not a space to be conquered and left behind; it is a space to be understood, layer by layer, failure by failure, until its secrets are finally revealed.
Optimization. Vera begins to experiment. What happens if she saves the goblin instead of killing it? What if she clears the boss room using only a wooden spoon? The Burden of the Repeater
