EXAMINE THE AUNT'S ROOM.

The friskiness quickly escapes your body. Time to get serious.

This is a somewhat unorthodox maneuvre out of you, but something in you really compels you to get a chair quickly. Normally you're not so keen on chattering on with

YOUR WEIRD FRIEND

but today that apparently seems to be the top priority, despite your well-earned terror towards trying to enter your aunt's room.

On the surface, most people would characterize your aunt as gentle, maternal, and kind. But you, more than anyone else, know the twisted machinations she has in the household. Traps and tricks and boobytraps spring up all the time, and you've been the victim of most of them, with several questionably-healed broken bones to prove it.

You look at her flower-decorated, inviting doorway with dread. Even before opening the doorway, you are already miffed by the vile maiden's ploys. On the door is a sticker reading "Live Laugh," with the bottom part clearly cut off to frustate you in its incompleteness. Leaving things lingering and undone has always driven you nuts. When you're not the one doing it, anyways.

The missing third plant just more salt in the wound. Your aunt has always been the sort of person to yell "Shave and a hair-cut" without ending the jingle. If anything it all comes off as a little ableist.

Point is, getting in might be more difficult than it looks. You might get yourself seriously hurt if you just barge into there. You, the brilliant person you are, dedicate an apathetic quarter of a second to think about possible alternatives. How else can you get in there?
