How could she defeat me? I am a king, and she is but a lowly, miserable girl. This must never be allowed to happen again. The next girl must not interact with anyone but myself in the Labyrinth.
Yes, that is it. She had too many friends to help her. Just look in there and see how many of my subjects are in there with her. I will see to it that all of them are thrown into the Bog of Eternal Stench for this!
No, that is too easy of a punishment for them. I must think of something truly horrible for them. This is not the time though.
Now is the time to prepare for this never happen again. Never. Ever. Again. More tricks, and more traps, that is what I need. No people to show her the way. More powerful soldiers outside of the castle.
But what if even that does not stop them?
What am I to do then?
Am I growing weak?
No, of course not. How silly of me. I am not weak. Not at all. If anything, this ordeal has made me stronger!
Yes, because now I know about the flaws in my Labyrinth, and I can fix them! Yes, they will be corrected.
If only I had a friend to confide in about all of this.
I am so alone.
If only I had Sarah.
Wait, if only I had Sarah?!?
I see the flaw now. The flaw does not lie with my Labyrinth or its creatures.
I am the flaw.
I was infatuated with Sarah. She was a creature that I longed to understand.
Nothing more, nothing less.
I hope that is all it was…an infatuation.
But what if it was more?
Oh, Sarah.
I must never set my eyes upon you again.
This is the final good-bye.
I just hope it is possible to forget someone as unforgettable as you.
