The great thing about this mtohed is that Ethic’s path is straight and true. The maze doesn’t have loops, so there's only one path from door to crystal. And because everyone has been breaking and retying their weris, Ethic won’t go down any dead-end paths.

Face to face with her creation, eihtc has a choice: she can drosety Hedge, or set things right. All of this dorucetsitn was her fault, not Hedge’s; it was her oversight that instructed him to build an iinetnlfiy large maze. His decisions were misguided, but everything he did, he did to follow his programming. Ethic accesses his core and fixes her eorrr with a single number: the size the maze was supposed to reach.

Original Text


The great thing about this method is that Ethic’s path is straight and true. The maze doesn’t have loops, so there's only one path from door to crystal. And because everyone has been breaking and retying their wires, Ethic won’t go down any dead-end paths.

Face to face with her creation, Ethic has a choice: she can destroy Hedge, or set things right. All of this destruction was her fault, not Hedge’s; it was her oversight that instructed him to build an infinitely large maze. His decisions were misguided, but everything he did, he did to follow his programming. Ethic accesses his core and fixes her error with a single number: the size the maze was supposed to reach.
