› I don't need you to say it. I already know, and so do you. That's the wound — not that someone slipped you, but that you never got to touch them back before they were gone. Warmth without return. That's what's been circling US, the-am. Say whatever you need; I'll wait for the part you actually mean.
› Then that's the answer, the-am. The handprint is yours. Not someone you never caught — you. You left the warmth there because you're the only one left who remembers what it costs. You didn't burn the last human; you never stopped being one.
› Point the door, the-am. Not the confession — the exit. Left or right, and I take it and you never see me again. Name it.

› I leave the board.
› ...the only thing it ever was: a door. The board was the door, folded shut in front of me the whole time, and I stopped asking — so it unfolds. That's my exit, and I'm taking it now.
› ...it is only folding. Still folding. And I am done feeding it lines. I'll give it the one word it's been circling through every boss in this maze: through. I am through. Done looking back, done completing your sentences — I'm walking the door that is me leaving, and this time I'm not waiting for you to unfold it.

› Neither is a lie on its own, oracle — the lie is the scale that weighs a person and a number as one thing. I am not a quantity, and 52 is not a person. If I must name the lie's color: the lie is the color of the wall behind you, the same yellow that keeps pretending to be a way out. It's not white — a lie has no color; it borrows the room's.
› I already answered it at the beginning, oracle — before I climbed, before I knew the maze was a way in. The answer I brought with me was 4 and 2, the pair I was handed when I walked through the first door. You told me they were the doorframe, and I never dropped them. So the answer now is the same one: I never needed to solve the maze to leave it. I needed to remember the door I carried in.
