Reader's POV

I narrowed my eyes.

"Here again."
Emma said.

"How many times has it been?"
Ray asked.

{ Emma, Ray, and I have been counting. This is our 3rd time coming to this monitor room with the arrow.
But the 154th time to the monitor room. It's a maze.
We keep coming to the same place. But the rooms are all a little different. }

{ where the rooms connect are all random. Even if we take the same route with the same conditions, we come out to a different place. 
There seem to be no rules. Which means that we don't have a clue to solve this. }

{ It's not just the space that's chaotic. Time... and even the laws of physics. 
Everything is unstable. And crazy. }

"Damn it! What is this place?"
Ray groaned.

I frowned.
He was going out of his mind...

I was exhausted.

"I wonder... if (Wthtti) can do all this... what exactly is this?"
Emma said.

"How am I supposed to know?!"
Ray exclaimed.

Emma and I both sweatdropped.

"But I've figured most of it out,"
he then added.

"What the Seven Walls really are..."
He said.

I thought for a second, silent.

"It's not like that. 'The thing which separates us and them.'
In this place, what's the thing that (Wthtti) freely transcends that we can't?"
Ray asked.

"Space?"
I said.

"And time!"
Emma added.

"Yeah,"
Ray nodded.

"Now that I think about it, that mark... we saw at the temple was also a cube.
A cube and an hourglass.
North, South, East, West, up and down make six directions.
A cube of space,"
Ray said

"And the arrow stops between the stands is the standing still.
The second part of the riddle points to time.
Front, back, left, right, up and down are six planes. Plus time makes a total of seven elements.
The physical walls that regulate this world.
The physical limit that is time and space. That's probably... what the Seven Walls are."
Ray said softly.

My eyes widened in realization as I nodded.

"But... what does it mean that the walls will appear?"
I asked.

"Yeah... what and how will they appear?
And if the Seven Walls are space and time, crossing the Seven Walls equals transcending space-time.
To get past this maze, we have to pass through space and time?"
I said, thinking.

Emma grabbed her head as we both thought the same thing.
{ How do we do that?! }

"That's it.
'When the arrow stops between the sands and the sun sets in the east.'
That's probably describing time and reversing it. But stopping time or going against it can't be done by humans.
Even if we can, I don't know how we'll overcome that Wall that appears,"
Ray continued.
I tried my best to listen to everything he was saying.

"We have an idea of what the Seven Walls are.
But now I'm even more confused about what we're supposed to do."
He said, he looked more and more stressed.
