* FailureIsTheOnlyOption: Zelda firmly believes that if they can reach the crossroads at the center of everything, they'll be able to fix all the alts and banish the rot for good. A previous failed attempt is what got Sal lost, and the rest of the group believes it's hopeless. [[spoiler: They're correct, sort of. What Zelda wants to do is not only impossible but not actually the solution. There is no big single reset button that will fix everything at once, and the rot is not inherently evil.]]
