"No, because we crushed our way through, so this isn't the same dead end." At least, Jade has a good memory and doesn't panic easily the same way Bracken did.

Poor Bracken, he's frozen in place. So Jade...took his arm gently to get him to follow him.

"Yes, but not here. Let's eat back at the forked path where there's a good light." He suggested.

Jade's calm voice and rationality. Hopefully, that will bring Bracken back to his senses.

"No need to feel upset. This maze is just a game. If you want to give up, I'll lead you back to the entrance and I'll come back tomorrow to find the well myself."
