Day 20: The Core: The anteroom of uncertainty
Time spent: 30 mins.

Going up from the hotel, I made my way to the Core once more. I called Paps and Dyne one more time and proceeded.

In my last two attempts, I went left, and to the elevator, respectively. This time I went right: "Why aren't you taking the elevator? Well, I guess this path is ok... But wait, it has a huge gap". So I went left, got past a Madjick, and proceeded through the lasers. Alphys said that the lasers started with orange, but I quickly forgot about it, so when I saw blue, blue, orange, instead, I stood still without knowing if I was actually going to get hurt (like last time) or not, but when I realized I wasn't hurt, I quickly reacted to avoid the orange laser and succeeded. "Are you hurt?", Alphys said (same dialogue as my last attempt). She then told me to go right, so I naturally went up since last time I actually went right; I fought the Knight knight and Alphys said: "Why didn't you go right? You trust me, d-d-don't you?" (Nice job, Toby. I'm impressed). I went right and faced a Brand new rea.

So more lasers, huh? They're always fun (I like that they require you to have simple-yet-good reflexes). I was even tempted to try to dodge them when I faced them directly in my "soul" form. Anyway, Alphys couldn't turn them off, so I went ahead and did the work myself, although I felt nice being guided/helped once more. (She is so lovable.)

I saved after being surrounded by the smell of ozone... Actually, I have no clue as to what does ozone smell like. Alphys couldn't guide me anymore, so I was practically on my own now. I had to choose between three paths: North, West and East. The East one was the way to "The End", while the other two were apparent prolongations. "Uh... Uhhh..." I went West, but I went back and wanted to check out "The End" (I somehow assumed that it was going to "end" right there, thus taking the fun out of exploring the other paths; but no, it was just a blocked road. I spent some time exploring the places, going West first. On the way, I saw the giant ice blocks that cooled off the Core. "Solve this puzzle and The End will open". Well, I did just that. I don't really know how I did it (like many of the puzzles of this kind I did back in Hotland). It didn't take that much time, so it was cool. [...]

(Part 2 tomorrow...)
