CITRINE

You're in a small grove of trees off the side of the road. Somehow, their thick leaves muffle all sound from beyond, leaving only faint whispers and echoes at the fringe of your hearing.

...I just see 'Purr' and 'Boredom'.

. . . I don't see anything.

[points at the bottom row]

'Boredom' runs along the bottom there, and 'purr' is on top.

Oh!

. . . Who betrays people they love out of boredom.

She forgot to put "money" in there.

I see a 'hat' too in the third row. Maybe it was a hat with lots of money in it?

No wait.

I found corruption. That answers my question, I guess...

You think that's it?

Yeah. People would do anything for money, the way I see it.

Does money corrupt people like the Darkness does?

You know, I really think it does. It can turn people into monsters.

Some kinda crossword?

I don't know. It just looks like a book got sick.

[pffft]

It's a game. You find the words hidden.

Oh! I found 'purr', 'boredom', and 'hat'.

That's a start. Not sure they're the answer to our question, but you've got a sharp eye.

Jackson thinks the answer is 'corruption'.

[yeah Rocky just spotted that too]

That's a good guess.

Should we turn that in and say it's because of money and Darkness?

Looks like it.

Plum's better than me at this stuff...

It's the kind of game kids like.

Yeah, she's good. I found just the one word. But I'm not sure what this lady with no hands wants from us.

Corruption, right? [Rocky spotted that one too!]

Who knows? As far as games go, this one doesn't seem too bad.

Yeah. Definitely corruption.

It seems okay enough. A little brain-twisty for me, but I'll get the hang of it.

There's no hugging or maiming involved, so I'm fine with it.

Corruption's our best bet.

[ . . . ]

Then let's go with corruption.
