Waking up in the dark caves of
Null Point, Sol tinkered to learn
about new state blocks...

...and narrowly escaped before
the exit caved in!

A diamond from the cave unlocked a
new memory, which suggested that someone
may have trapped Sol on purpose...

Starting out on their journey for answers,
Sol follows a set of footprints left in
the snow...

...It looks like the footprints
disappear up ahead.

I don't see anyone around though...

Hm? What's this fluffy thing
stuck in the snow?

WOAH!

EEK! A human?? W-who are you??

My name’s Sol, but I don’t know much
more than that...what’s your name?

M-my name's Zorro...I'm an arctic fox.

Zorro, huh? That name doesn’t ring a bell, but...Zorro, have you ever seen me before?

Huh? N-no!! I haven’t seen anyone else
here in Snowy Slopes for ages!

With all these problems popping up
everywhere, it’s hard to travel from
place to place.

...So how did you even get here, Sol?

Well, I came from those caves up the mountain...I saw a lot of problems
over there, too.

I almost got stuck in there, but I
managed to solve the problems and escape
by rewriting the rules.

You...what?! You’re a REWRITER?!?!
I thought there were none left...!

Hm? Y-yeah, I’m definitely
a Rewriter...is that weird?

No, no, not at all! It’s just...there
aren't many Rewriters in this world.

Most are like me — I can read the rules,
but can’t change anything. That’s why I’ve
been stuck here for a while...

You’re stuck? Where are you trying to go?

I was traveling to my home at the
bottom of the mountain, but got
trapped in this problem...

...Since I can’t rewrite,
there’s nothing I can do.

Are you sure...? There must be something we
can do to get you out of here. Something you haven’t tried yet.

I don't know...well, you can take a
look if you want. Here's the problem...

See, look at all of this!
I don't even know where to start...

Hm...the first step to solving a problem
is understanding it, so let me look around.

I notice 2 state blocks I don't recognize:
HOT and MELT. Zorro, do you know anything
about them?

M-me? Um, I think HOT and MELT work as a
pair somehow. Sorry, that's all I know...

That's helpful, Zorro! Is there anything else you've noticed about this problem?

Well...I'm not sure if any of this is useful, but yes, I've noticed a few things...

The first thing I noticed when I got here
is that the lava is really orange!

Next, I noticed that there's a LOT of snow!

I also noticed the rule up top
that says ROCK IS DEFEAT... 

And finally...I noticed that the
lava looks too scary to walk on!

Hmm...oh! I think one of your
observations just now is really
useful for solving this problem.

Really...? Which one?

Let me tinker with this problem first
to see if I'm understanding things correctly. Then I'll tell you!

What do you notice and what could be useful?

Whew, that was a lot of problems – but we finally made it!

Yes!! We’re home, Piney!
Safe and sound!

Thank you so much, Sol...not only did
you help me get home, you taught me a
lot about rewriting too!

I thought I’d be stuck in those
difficult problems forever – that there
was nothing I could do...

But now I see that problems aren’t so scary
once I take the time to understand them.

I’m glad, Zorro! To be honest, I was a
little scared of going down this mountain
on my own...

So hearing you ask questions and
talk out loud...it helped me stay calm
and think these problems through.

Thank you, Zorro. And you, Piney!

Describe a time a friend helped you learn something.

Alright Zorro! I know you’ve missed your
home, so...I’ll get going now...

W-wait, Sol!

It’s true, all I wanted at
first was to go home...

But...I had so much fun solving problems
with you! And now that I’ve seen how
rewriting works, I want to learn more!

So...can I, uh, join you? Maybe I can
help you find more of your lost memories!

Zorro...of course you can!
I’ll feel a lot better traveling with you!

Yay, I’m so excited!! As a thank you...

Here, you can carry Piney!

Really? Are you sure??

Yep! Piney’s always helped me,
so...maybe it can help you too!

Plus, we’re friends now, right?
And friends share things!

Yeah, we are! Thank you, Zorro.
I'll treasure Piney!

...

Hm? I feel a strange power
coming from Piney...

Staring into Piney’s eyes, Sol hears a kind voice...

Here you go, Sol! ...I know, this is my
favorite toy, but...I want you to have it. I have the most fun with you, after all!

Woah! Another memory! I didn’t recognize
this voice, either...

Are you okay, Sol?? What did you remember?

Yeah, I’m fine. It seems like I had
another friend back then who used to
share things with me...

Oh, that’s great!
Maybe we can find them later!

...Yeah! Maybe once we’re off the mountain—

.....help.....

Uh...did you say something, Zorro?

...help...me...

EEK! That wasn’t me...I think it’s
coming from those ruins over there!

What?? Let’s hurry there, then!
Someone could be in danger!

Right! Follow me, Sol!
