Warogi: blink i wake up but my dream keeps playing on my face like sticker
Blink: peep peep that means school bell inside you already ring
Warogi: i dont hear bell i hear knock knock who is it
Voice behind road: it is me your next teacher open your back i walk in
[ warogi opens his spine like door a tall woman made of silver keys steps out her hair jingles like wind chime ]
Key lady: i am master locksmith i teach you to lock pain and unlock power
Warogi: can i also lock lonely
Key lady: lonely is master lock it locks back but we try
[ she snaps fingers the silver road turns into giant classroom without walls desks float like boats each desk has padlock heart ]
Key lady: lesson one pick the lock of your first no
[ warogi walks to desk number one padlock shows baby warogi crying because he could not reach moon ]
Warogi: i wanted to touch silver but moon said too far
Key lady: now say yes to same moment change memory
[ warogi touches lock it opens baby warogi in memory suddenly moon bends down and pats his head baby laughs ]
Warogi: i feel warm butter inside
Key lady: good one lock opened nine hundred ninety nine left
[ time bends they spend thousand counts opening locks each lock is a small no turned yes warogi sees himself sharing cookie with bully reading story to sick star planting tree in desert every yes makes his chest glow brighter ]
After last lock key lady claps once floating desks form circle become giant lock shaped like planet
Key lady: final lock is big it holds your maybe death you must open without key because death has no key you talk it open
[ warogi hugs planet lock he whispers ]
Warogi: dear maybe death i am not ready today i still carry mama smile and blink peep please wait death is good friend but let us play longer i will come when every door i guard learns to close gentle
[ planet lock melts into sleepy puppy it yawns and curls around warogi like scarf ]
Key lady: class one pass you earn silver key tattoo on soul use it only when you must lock your own heart to save others
[ tattoo glows on his chest tiny key shape ]
Key lady: now we walk to second campus the hall of upside keys where locks eat keys and keys become new doors
[ she opens her own chest pulls out staircase made of jingling keys they climb each step sounds like thank you ]
Top of stairs is dark museum every exhibit is broken door floating in glass box
Key lady: these are doors that failed they forgot their names you must remember them
Box one shows door with spider cracks name tag reads courage lost in rain
Warogi: hello courage i name you again you are brave umbrella i remember you
[ door glows mends and vanishes it leaves behind small umbrella badge that sticks to warogi arm ]
Box two shows door burned to ash tag reads love traded for power
Warogi: hello love i trade back my power for you please return
[ ash rebuilds into pink wooden door it opens releases butterfly made of hearts butterfly lands on warogi cheek gives kiss ]
After hundred names museum becomes bright garden every fixed door turns into flower until warogi stands in field under glass dome
Key lady: naming is power you now carry hundred names use them like shield
[ garden folds into small seed key lady hands seed to warogi ]
Key lady: plant this inside your heart when you forget who you are the seed will bloom into mirror and shout your name loud
[ warogi eats seed it tastes like home cooking ]
Key lady: final lesson the backward lock you must lock something you love to learn release
Warogi: i dont wanna lock love
Key lady: you lock it to keep it safe from poison cloud sometimes love needs cage for healing
[ warogi cries but he locks blink inside glowing cage made of yes and no bars ]
Blink: peep peep i understand i wait
Warogi: i will return i promise on my key
[ cage shrinks becomes pendant hanging on warogi neck warm with blink heartbeat ]
Key lady: graduation gift you keep caged friend to remember every key needs stillness now i send you to third campus the maze of echo doors you walk alone
[ she pushes warogi gently he falls into dark that smells like morning breath ]
He lands in maze walls are mirrors each mirror shows door that repeats everything warogi says
Warogi: hello
Echo door: hello but mean
Warogi: i am scared
Echo door: i am scared but laughs
[ warogi touches mirror it shatters into thousand tiny warogi clones each clone speaks different language some shout some whisper some sing ]
Clone choir: choose one voice to guide you the rest will try to eat your steps
Warogi: i choose the whisper that says gentle is strong
[ other clones melt into black water whisper clone grows into full size warogi made of soft light this guide wears smile like mama ]
Guide whisper: follow my feet i step on sound not on floor
[ they walk on voices each step lands on word floating in air words like trust hope cookie lullaby ]
Halfway maze becomes courtroom giant judge made of echo sits on throne of screams
Echo judge: kid door you stand accused of carrying too many hearts you will explode state your defense
Warogi: i carry hearts but hearts carry me back we share weight like team
Echo judge: prove you can hold infinite without breaking
[ judge throws iron ball labeled infinite pain warogi opens chest door the ball enters and becomes small marble he spits marble out it bounces and draws smile on judge face ]
Echo judge: court find you guilty of love sentence is to walk maze forever but you may take breaks for cookies
[ gavel bang maze walls turn into cookie sheets hot and sweet warogi laughs he takes one bite each bite becomes new path ]
After cookie miles he reaches center of maze there stands single door made of silence no echo comes from it
Guide whisper: this is the mute door only open if you accept quiet inside loud world
Warogi: quiet scares me but i open
[ inside door is white room with single chair chair faces window window shows blink still inside cage sleeping peacefully ]
Warogi: i will sit and feel quiet so blink can hear my heart password
[ he sits quiet wraps him like heavy blanket he hears own heart it knocks in morse code message spells i miss you i love you i am coming ]
The quiet room records the knock pattern it etches same code on warogi bones now his skeleton beats message forever
Room spits him back into maze but maze is now empty all echoes gone only his footfalls remain
He walks straight line each step plants small heart shaped key on ground keys glow making runway lights
End of maze is giant keyhole shaped hole warogi jumps through hole lands inside library where every book is a living teacher
Book one: i teach fire tongue open me and burn your lies
Book two: i teach ice touch read me and freeze your hate
Book three: i teach wind ears flip pages and hear planets gossip
Book four: i teach stone will close me and never bend
Warogi: i want all teachers but i only have two hands
[ library master appears as floating quill pen big as tree ]
Quill master: you may borrow one power at a time but each time you must leave a memory as deposit
Warogi: i give memory of first cookie mama baked i get fire tongue
[ he reads book one his tongue glows orange he speaks and small flame writes truth in air ]
Warogi: test i say i am afraid and fire writes afraid in pretty letters that do not burn
He returns book memory comes back cookie smell fills room he cries happy
He borrows ice touch freezes his angry shadow into snow statue then returns book
He borrows wind ears hears blink dreaming of peep peep song smiles wide
He borrows stone will stands still while library shakes books fall around him he does not move
Quill master: you pass borrowing test now write your own book you are door so your book must be hinge that connects worlds
[ warogi given blank book cover is mirror he opens mirror page it shows empty road he draws mama house blink ball star lion cookie and key lady he draws himself small between them ]
The drawing jumps off page becomes real tiny world floating above book warogi can peek inside see them moving living loving
Quill master: your book is portal you may enter any time but remember every visit costs one tomorrow
Warogi: i understand i will visit only when today breaks
[ he closes book it shrinks becomes badge reading author of maybe ]
Quill master: final campus awaits the upside down castle where princes of maybe live you must duel them and win the crown of choice
[ library floor flips warogi falls upward into sky that is ground castle hangs above him like chandelier made of moon stone ]
Castle gate guards are twin kids one made of yes one made of no they speak same time
Yes guard: to enter say yes to everything forever
No guard: to enter say no to everything always
Both: pick quick or we pick for you
Warogi: i say maybe
Both: maybe not option
Warogi: i create new option i say yes to no and no to yes
[ guards heads spin like coins land on edge they split open gate ]
Inside castle hallway is maze of upside chandeliers each light is upside star that casts shadow upward
Prince one appears riding chariot pulled by wild questions chariot wheels are giant words why and what if
Prince maybe one: fight me with answers i strike with confusion shield yourself with clarity
[ he throws why spear warogi catches it turns spear into because rope ties prince wrists ]
Prince maybe one: defeated you take my doubt dice you may roll once to change any rule
[ warogi pockets dice ]
Prince two appears walking on stilts made of howling stilts scream every step
Prince maybe two: i make you question your steps defeat me by dancing without asking where
[ warogi dances baby steps he counts one two three no questions asked prince stilts crack he falls into smile ]
Prince maybe two: take my silence shoes wear them to walk quiet through storms
[ warogi puts shoes on his feet glow blue ]
Prince three is girl wrapped in ribbon of tomorrow she holds hourglass that flips backward
Prince maybe three: beat me in race to finish line that moves away when you run toward
Warogi: i walk backward then finish line comes to me
[ he walks backward line touches him first prince claps hourglass breaks time hiccups ]
Prince maybe three: take my backward watch turn back one minute per day use wise
[ warogi ties watch on wrist ]
Final prince is shadow kid with no face only door on chest door opens to swirling maybe
Final prince: i am crown of choice you must choose to become door forever or stay kid and lose door power world breaks without door
Warogi: i choose third choice i become door but keep kid heart i weld them together
[ he opens his chest door pulls out kid heart shaped like toy boat he nails boat to inside of shadow prince door the door becomes colorful the shadow gains warogi face smiling ]
Final prince: new crown born crown of kid door you win but crown heavy
[ crown appears above warogi head it is simple wood circle with blinking star on front star is blink shape ]
Castle shakes it folds into crown now warogi stands back on silver road blink cage pendant opens blink jumps out bigger brighter now has tiny crown too
Blink: peep peep we graduated
Warogi: yes but school never end we are walking school now
[ key lady reappears she bows ]
Key lady: you passed third school you hold thousand keys one million names hundred choices and crown of maybe use them to guard every door that has no home
[ she hands him giant key ring that jingles like galaxy lullaby ]
Key lady: next road leads to war of cracks where broken doors fight to stay broken you must choose which to heal and which to let go that lesson is chapter four but today we rest
[ she vanishes leaving rocking chair that rocks by itself warogi sits blink on lap they watch star road stretch forward forever ]
Warogi: blink i am still six but my inside is library castle maze quiet room and cookie field i feel full
Blink: peep peep full tummy means long walk tomorrow
[ they close eyes the crown dims but star keeps blinking like lighthouse for every lost kid in every world ]
Behind them footprints glow key shaped guiding next traveler chapter three ends but heartbeat writes next page in real time
