Once again, I push open the door of the Balloon Room, quietly letting myself in and closing the door. I take a deep breath and sigh, marveling once more at the many balloony things surrounding me in the room. "Ahh, my favorite place..."
I take a few steps forward towards the center of the room.

The room lit up upon your entering, it recognizing you. The room seemed to like you.

"Oh, hey!" I smiled at the room lighting up. "Friendly today, huh... so hey, how are you doing?"
I looked around at the various tools and related objects set about the room, wondering what I ought to use on myself today. "Oooh... I wonder what I should..." I paused, as my eyes settled upon a lattice arch that seemed to lead out into some sort of garden. "...do?"

The gate creaked open, as if inviting you into the garden on the other side.

"Ah... I guess it couldn't hurt to go out and get some fresh air. Besides, a path leading from this room has got to be pleasant." I confidently passed through the arch, and out into the garden to have a look around.

The garden seems nice, despite the overcast sky that hung over head...which seemed odd.

"Mmm... little dark out today. I hope it doesn't cause trouble for the plants... speaking of which." I peeked over one of the fences at one of the rows of plants that was growing in the garden. "I wonder what's growing here, anyway?"

Among the plants, you saw one in the distance...which looked like some sort of orchid...it was huge, and blood red in color.

"Oh... what's that, there?" I stared at the special plant, curiosity beginning to overcome me. I decided that it couldn't hurt to at least investigate it, so I tried to pick a path between the garden rows and attempted to approach the deep red flower.

The flower was blooming and in the middle was...a balloon...emerald green. It slowly inflated and deflated as if the flower were breathing.

I looked upon the balloon-flower in awe, amazed at its beauty. "Amazing..." I reached out towards it at first, but quickly drew my hand back, concerned at what might happen. "Oh-oh... if I touch it and something bad happens..." I pause. And yet... the flower and balloon's rhythmic pulsing again compelled me to reach out for it...

The balloon shuddered at your touch, and then it popped. A loud crack of thunder filled the air seconds later...
Your eyes stayed focused on the flower as you watched it begin to die.

I gasped and drew my hands to my mouth, watching in shocked silence as the once-beautiful flower began to wilt and collapse before my eyes... I suddenly had the feeling that I had done something quite wrong.

"My precious flower" a female voice screamed from the hedges ahead. Out from them came a woman, beautiful, but harsh looking, long black hair tinged with grey.
"You!" she shouted pointing at you. "Look what you did to my baby!"

"A-ah!" I gasped, as I stepped back in fright, still rather shocked by the scene that had unfolded. "I'm sorry, I-I'm sorry! I didn't mean to... I didn't... I'm sorry!" I clasped my hands together, begging for forgiveness.
