[DISCOVERY]
[something's wrong here]
[What is it?]
[take a look at this one]
[...oh, oh... no.
 What is this?]
[i dont know, this never happened...
 why is this here?]
[Should we delete it?]
[no. there may be more]

MEME0 - curse

That should be the last side door

About time we finished getting through the gardenshed

yeah, i was getting exhausted from all that reading

...hey, what's that key you got there?

Dunno

Found it next to the computer

let me have a look

PART I - TEMPTATION

looks like another heavy key... but, here? really?

it's like... crystallized sorrow, isn't it?

Supposedly

As if fake wasnt bad enough

Im starting to feel bad for Jouse

it's almost guarding itself.

...the knowledge within, at least. it's got something like a...

A protective shell

yes, thank you

but you definitely get the emotions from it, i wonder if being closer to the source makes the keys more potent...?

But then why would it give us a key when we are right at its front
gate

hm... that's a puzzle.

PART II - SCHEME

hey, theo?

Yeah fiend

go ahead and use this for me

I mean sure this is the last door

no, not on the door

What

on the ground.

On the ground

yes, on the ground

You want me to

[A MOTION OF STABBING]

With the key

On the ground

yeah

PART III - REASON

I dont think this is a good idea

use the key on the ground, theo

Im not doing that fiend

why not? we've come all this way, but i feel as if we're on the cusp of something even greater.

What about the owner

...

Fiend

the owner can wait for a while longer, can't it?

This isnt right

who says any of this is

PART IV - PROCEED

Im not doing this

[A SOUND OF UNLOCKING]

I will wait for you at the heart

Youre on your own for this fiend

[A PASS OF KEY]

...fine. be that way

[A RECIEVING OF KEY]

[A CLOSING OF DOOR]

[A WANING OF FOOTSTEP]

i don't need you.

PART V - WANTING

[A HOLDING OF KEY]

PART VI - NEEDING

[A TREMBLING OF BREATH]

PART VII - FEELING

[A CLENCHING OF HAND]

PART VIII - MOTIVE

[A SPIRIT OF GOAL]

PART IX - PROCEED

[A FLASH OF LIGHT]

[A BRILLIANT, BLUE LIGHT]

[THE BEATING OF THE HEART, ARRHYTHMIA]

[IT OPENS THE WAY ANEW]

[A PATH ALONG A DIFFERENT AXIS]

[AND WITH THE FLASH OF LIGHT, THE CREATURE HAD VANISHED.]

[...AND FROM INSIDE THE HEART, THE JOUSE AND THE OWNER FELT A SHUDDER OF FEAR.]

[THE SAME FEAR THEY HAD FELT ONCE BEFORE, WHEN SHE HAD GONE OFF THE BEATEN PATH; WHEN SHE HAD BECOME TRAPPED INSIDE HER OWN WALLS.]

[ANOTHER PLACE, ANOTHER TIME, BUT IS IT SO FAR OFF?]

PART X - ANOTHER ROUTE

i've asked it to make a few copies. you know how easy it is to misplace shit here.
