The point of no return mentioned was surprisingly easy to find.

As a matter of fact, I stumbled on the two locked doors leading to it
before entering any variant.

I wonder... why did The Owner make that room from such an obvious
point of entry?

What is this person's deal...?

I'm sitting on the ledge to the abyss right now, I can't see what's
on the other side.

I'm... talking aloud again.

...i'm having second thoughts about this.

[THEY LEAN FORWARD, AND FALL FACE FIRST
 INTO THE AREA OUTSIDE HER SHED]


The area out here is oddly serene. How could there be an outdoor area inside The Jouse? Am I still inside The Jouse...? There's a shed here. As I approach it, the sky shifts from dawn to dusk to twilight. The sound of birdsong smoothly fading into the chirping of crickets. The rose bush that caught my fall both blooming and wilting. A foxglove growing to the side. I open the door to the shed, and I see a tiny interior. I step inside the shed, and...
...it's beautiful. Feels like I'm intruding on something, like this was a hand-crafted gift that I'm forcefully taking and twisting to my own will. There are... some side rooms, what could be inside?
I... don't understand i have the keys from the memory box rooms, i've read the memos over dozens of times, but... I can't find the way forward. It's... just not there. ...am i doing something wrong? why can't i... this can't be the end, can it? there's a door frame here, but... no door. try as i might, i scratch and gnaw at the overgrown wood in the place there would be an exit... It simply does not reach me. fiend, my brother. i'm sorry to fail you like this. i've flown too close to the sun, and landed in the vast ocean left in the owner's wake, never to reach the surface... or you, again. ...at least i have these terminals.
