2. Inextricable: forming a maze or tangle from which it is impossible to get free

"Ve~ I can't untie my shoelaces!" Italy blubbered as Germany knelt down beside him and tried to untangle the mess.

"Ja, I know. Could you please be quiet while I try to untangle this Inextricable mess." Germany grumbled as he fumbled with the tight knot that Italy had gotten his fingers stuck in. The Italian tried to tug his fingers away from the knots he managed to create but ended up making a handcuff-like trap. He yelped in pain when Germany tugged at it, trying to loosen up the tangled blob of shoelace.

"Ow! It hurts! Please don't hurt me!" Italy cried.

"I'm not trying to hurt you! Calm down Italy!"

Italy stared at his shoes sadly. He liked this pair of shoes, and he'd be sad if he had to cut the shoelaces off. Behind him, Japan quietly gave Germany some ideas on how to free Italy from his trap.

"Are you done yet? I'm hungry..." Italy whined.

"Nein," Germany replied as he picked at a knot. Italy sighed while checking his watch. He had made pasta right before he had left to meet Germany and Japan, but if he was going to be trapped like this, it would be overcooked!

"I think we should just cut it, Germany san." Japan suggested, seeing how Germany's attempts of picking the laces apart were growing pointless.

"No! Don't cut it! It's my favorite pair of shoes!" Italy bawled.

"But Italy-san, it has already been an hour." Japan tried to reason with him, but Italy continued to cry. Eventually (With the help of a little cornstarch), Italy was freed, and thankfully, his pasta wasn't overcooked.
