"Who was that mysterious knight?"

Part 1
Last time on
The Rewriters!
Sol dreamt of a strange world...
Luna
...full of rules and wonder...
Luna
They journeyed on until...
Luna
Sol awoke in an unfamiliar dark cave!
Luna
This seemed to alarm a mysterious knight
who ran off in a hurry.
Luna
Our story continues...
Oof...I'm awake now, right?
Sol
Who was that knight?
Sol
...And where am I?
Sol
You're in Null Point — a faraway cave,
high up in the mountains.
Luna
AH! Luna, where'd you come from?!
I thought you were just part of my dream!
Sol
That's usually the case, yes. I was able
to follow you here using my powers...
Luna
...but I can't stay for long. I'll have to
leave and rest for a while after this.
Luna
Really...? But I still don't
remember anything about myself...
what will I do after you leave?
Sol
Don't worry, Sol...I think there's a
solution to your lost memories. Remember
the teddy bear you found earlier?
Luna
Oh yeah...I heard a voice when
I held that bear. It seemed familiar.
Sol
Exactly. I believe there are
other objects in this world that will help
you unlock memories of your past.
Luna
...And I'm sensing an object like that at
the exit of this cave. Sol, you must find it by—
Luna
BOOM! CRASH!
Woah! Luna, what was that noise
just now?!
Sol
How can this be...?
Sol, the exit is caving in!
Luna
W-what?! What should I do??
We need to get out of here!
Sol
Hmmm...first, let's stay calm.
We still have time, just less than I thought.
Luna
You can do this, Sol — escape the cave
by using your rewriting power!
Luna
How can I do that...?
Sol
Look around you...doesn't some of this
seem familiar?
Luna
...Oh, you're right! It looks a little different, but there are objects, blocks,
and rules here like the ones in my dream.
Sol
Indeed. This cave has objects
like rocks, mushrooms, and fossils.
Luna
As for object blocks — there's a block
for mushrooms, Sol, fossils, and gold.
Luna
Yeah! There's also the connector block...
Sol
And a state block. Hmm, this one says SINK.
I don't think I know that one.
Sol
Can you tell me what it means, Luna?
Sol
Hm...remember Sol, I won't always
be here to give you the answer.
Luna
Instead, I can show you how to approach
problems that are new or unfamiliar.
That should be more useful for you.
Luna
After all, the first step to solving
a problem is to understand it.
Luna
And the more you understand a
problem, the more your rewriting
power grows when you WIN.
Luna
Really? Okay then, I'll try...
but where do I start?
Sol
Let's try this — make new rules with the SINK block by using these 3 object blocks.
Luna
...New rules? So I should try
making SOL IS SINK, FOSSIL IS SINK,
and GOLD IS SINK?
Sol
Yes. Each time you make a new rule, pause
and notice what happens. That should help you understand SINK and solve this problem.
Luna
But remember, it's okay if you don't solve
the problem right away. What's important is
that you try to understand it first.
Luna
Right...I just need to try my best.
Let's do this!
Sol
Explore!
