Rei stands before the entrance to the maze, a thick scroll of parchment clenched in his fist. His gaze narrows on the unfamiliar symbols scrawled across the page, frustration etching deep lines onto his forehead. 'What on earth is this?' he muses, raking his fingers through his hair. The coded instructions, in his hands, seem to be a riddle in itself.

His usual confident stride wavers as he steps into the labyrinth, a sense of uncertainty clouding his mind. 'I can't fail this. Not here, not now.' The thought rings in his mind, echoing in the silence of the maze.
