> Anno: Do anything but solve the dumb riddle.
Why can't you just immediately THINK of the right solution to get you out of this DARK HOLE and drive away these CROWS?
You've never been good at solving RIDDLES or PUZZLES of most kinds. You'd sooner crack the PUZZLE in half and burn it with fire.
You'd then take a nap to relieve yourself of the SHEER STRESS of entertaining the idea of grinding your own damn MENTAL GEARS for someone else's sick pleasure.
Why, oh why didn't you just nap for another hour or two? Everything is starting to feel like some kind of WAKING DREAM again, even though you somewhat recently confirmed that you're AWAKE.
