Wayward Compass and Gathering Swarm

Rise up ever higher

(Long drawing ahead)

hi,..,,

"Close Friends"

i tried to inspect the display after susie left to see if there was any secret dialogue and accidentally started the puzzle timer again, prompting ralsei to race over to try to complete the puzzle by themself so hard they splatted

young kris and noelle playing some multiplayer platformer when noelle gets bored and starts bonking into the invisible walls trying to clip out of bounds. kris kinda wants to keep playing but she ends up talking them into helping her. they finally manage and noelle is so excited by all the fucked up geometry and weird stuff, runs around exploring for hours. kris never manages to tell her that for days after they have nightmares about abrupt cuts in the ground leading to falls down to nowhere, light that shines from nowhere and everywhere, noelle juddering and glitching in place.
