It's not like I asked to be brought to a carnival-filled island, but the inhabitants of this place made it pretty clear that I'm not going anywhere. Best to try and get along instead of kicking up dust and making trouble.

[She shrugs her shoulders for a moment, focusing on the task at hand instead of the mysteries surrounding the island. All of her attention is on trying to find the trick to the maze, as it's painfully clear that walking from start to finish isn't possible. Her footsteps slow when Connor addresses her, pausing to make sure they haven't gotten separated.]

Don't worry about it. If we put our heads together, we can figure out the solution to this puzzle in due time. They can't keep up trapped in here forever, after all.

[Though she's not making a move for the moment, looking around at their surroundings carefully, trying to catch something that might be out of place. Among the glowing lights, something does catch her attention on the far side of the room. A red and white sign hanging above a narrow doorframe. The exit.]

It's okay, Connor. You don't have to apologize for something that's out of your control. Instead of focusing on what went wrong, channel that into looking for a solution.

[She points to the exit sign. In the process of turning to nod reassuringly to Connor, she catches a glimpse of movement within the mirror's reflection. Huh. It must be a trick of the light.]

Looks like we've got one hint to work with right there.
