You briefly forget how to read, as you think about doing your homework...and then remember that you don't have any homework because you haven't been to School in days, and with that recollection comes back your ability to read. So...you read what's written underneath each of those paintings.
Green: "Hang from the bar until the height of your first swing, then put your legs up in a modified knee hang position, with one leg over the bar and one leg sticking straight up. Do the splits and move into second position, holding on. Then you move into their position, pointing your head towards the ground. That's how you do the splits!"
Brown: "Hang from the bar until the height of your first swing, then put your legs up and hold on with those, arching your back for the catcher to catch you. Only let go when the catcher catches you and says 'Gotcha!' That's how you do a knee hang!"
Yellow: "The one in white speaks the truth!"
Blue: "The only guy here telling the truth is green!"
White: "Get into knee hang position, hold onto the bar with your hands, hang there, and then do three slow and big kicks to give yourself momentum for the flip before letting go! That's how you perform a backflip!"
Red: "I believe Yellow is right."
Seems to make enough sense. Jotting down the information, you make your way into the next room...and stop short when you see there's no floor. There's just a spotlight illuminating a trapeze hanging from the unseen ceiling, just within reach.
What will you do now?
(Yes I know multiple actions weren't used yet I'll get to them tomorrow geez sorry mom)

Brown is clearly the most wrong. Clearly. Let's go with what white said, because flips are cool.

After much thought, you've decided that brown has to be lying, and to follow white. Because...fuck, man. Backflips.p You grab the bar with both hands, getting into a knee hang position. You let yourself hang from the bar as it swings back and forth, building up momentum with three big kicks...you leap off, performing a backflip, but as you do, you see a pair of arms reach out into the spotlight...but you're not sure where they lead. But you get the innate sense that maybe the brown dude was telling the truth... You launch a whip made of Volca- No, wait. New action. You rocket fart out towards the pair of hands, fully intending to catch them...except no, you don't, in fact the momentum of the rocket fart launches you way above and ahead of them, into the dark abyss of the un-illuminated room. Apparently whatever you did...worked, and you tumble out of the abyss into a plain, square-shaped room colored completely in yellow. In the center of the room is...  a statue of a person unfamiliar to you, yet reminding you of someone else you've met a number of times before...for whatever reason, this statue just reminds you a lot of Bill. "There you are! I've been looking all over for you." A more familiar person, Monika, enters the room from behind you...somehow, walking you towards you and the statue. "Listen, Crimson...you should really be careful about leaving people behind in the dream realms. Bad things could happen, you know. But...I can defend myself just fine, so...I don't take *too* much offence. Now can we please move? We still have...places to be." |

No.
You don't want to leave this statue alone.
For some reason...it feels...important?
"Uh...hello? Are we gonna move, or...?"

With the power of T-posing...you manage to pick up the statue! It just...levitates on top of your back.
"You...want to bring that? Really? Uhm...you know half the paintings and art exhibits here tried to kill you, right?"
You don't approach Monika. You don't...feel like it, for some reason. You remember things about...what being shadowed feels like, for other people.
"Listen...you'd be a lot better off leaving that there. Y'know?"
you dab on Monika. She looks...annoyed.

You tell Monika just how much being shadowed sucks. It sucks...a lot. Your feelings are bottled up beyond your control, losing so much that's important to you...all for the sake of being used as a weapon. It sucks, it's awful, and you never want it to happen again. The statue goes into a T-pose as you dab, yet again. Monika looks...deep in thought now, whilst you craft a top hat made out of Volcano Bakemeat.
"Why are you bringing up being shadowed so much, all of a sudden? Is there something here you're not telling me, Crimson?"
"Obviously I'm joking but from what I've heard and seen it just wouldn't interest me. Like I'm not really a fan of meta horror, it's just an easy out to make people think a game is scary without really trying too hard.
I kinda like the idea of what looks like a generic weeb dating sim turni-"
"I asked you a question, Crimson. I don't expect a concise answer from someone like you...ever, but I would like to hear your reasoning. I know you're capable of telling me."
You sense something is up with Monika. You can't tell exactly why yet.

Roll an Insight check. Failing that, do a backflip, but not on trapeze, as an acro trick.

Ask if Monika is really a Dorito demon with a creepy moon mask.

You end up rolling only a 3 on your insight check...so you just stare at Monika really blankly. Failing that, you decide it'd at least be worth using your Pathfinder skill you pulled out of thin air. You can tell that Monika...has an illusion spell cast on her, that she wasn't the caster, and most importantly...that she's a scientist.
You try to keep your cool by saying "Are you a Dorito demon with a creepy moon mask?". You also, coincidentally, fail your charisma roll.
"...So you were taking it personal. Not entirely, but...at least it shows me Wishmakers can develop sentience on their own...soon enough, I'll see why."
The illusion spell covering Stein is dispelled, as he rushes full-force at you with a scythe in hand. You, uh, might wanna do something about that.

Become Nemesis Sudou. Decide to revenge. Proceed to revenge. If Xeno doesn't know what Nemesis-Sudou style revenging is, there's someone he can ask who's not shadowed, incredibly pissed off, and who wants to trapeze.
