She stared at the very woodpile she used previously to craft her boat a few minutes ago. Or was it hours...?
"No matter. They are waiting for me; I can't stick around here pissed off."
She'd quickly grab the pile of wood and begin to make a more considerably smaller, mundane boat than the crafted lucky one she had before she was sent back to the start.
In around twenty minutes, she finished making the boat.
"I'm never letting that happen again. This stupid nightmare, I'm not going to let that happen again." She at least thought to herself. It's always good to keep your confidence in a place where you lose any form of confidence once a clock makes a large noise, you know?
She began sailing down the river of something. Did the river have a name...? Kappa honestly couldn't remember anything besides the path she took, which was good enough information, as it clearly was. Let's hope she didn't miss any substantial information besides the sign that she can remember.
She continued to sail, past the whirlpool and the jellyfish area, until finally she saw her resting boat with her "Nobody" friends sitting there even more confused than they were before she went down the pathway. It seems they aren't even breathing all too much now, with each breath they take being around every fifteen seconds at that specific interval.
"Are they going to even forget how to breathe?!? I have to hurry. What's going to happen to me?"
Kappa immediately took the boat off the shore and sailed the next moment.
They were going further down the river and shifted a turn until they reached the end of the river, from what it seemed.
"Why the hell are there more than twenty of those jellyfish!"
Kappa would begin to shift the boat to the right of the field of jellyfish, finally reaching land once again.
However, she hesitated this time. She doesn't want to make another boat and travel all the way over here, to this horrible place. So, she took the liberty of using the little intelligence she had to reread the sign she took.
"Hey Brain. It says to go this way, right?"
[Yup. Make sure to not mess up this time, Kappa. You're doing good already!!]
"It doesn't really feel like I'm doing that well, though. I feel like I could've gotten out of here if I didn't choose to save these people." She didn't feel like this was worth the effort. Though was there really an effort and reward in choosing to save people out of your own goodwill?
"Not really..." She thought to herself.
"I guess that's just the type of person I am."
"Waffle. Doge. Tod. JT." Kappa began to exhale and take a deep breath to fully firm her will when she said this.
"I'm going to do my utmost best to get you four out of this place. Safe and sound."
"Yeah. In fact, I won't let a single one of you—" It was as she said that a large sound from the water below their boat reached out and latched a tentacle towards JT.
Before Kappa could even react, the jellyfish sped up even more and latched a tentacle completely around JT's waist. The tentacle would then shift the entirety of the boat, causing her already disabled friends to begin to fall into the water as well due to the fact that they aren't moving already as it is.
Kappa had two options. Save the majority or save the one mainly getting grabbed into the water by cutting the tentacle arm with her sword and then immediately saving her three friends.
[WHY? RIGHT AS I SWORE, I WAS GOING TO SAVE THEM? IS THIS SOME SICK JOKE?!?]
Kappa knew what she was going to do. She was going to choose the option that wasn't one.
She was going to make her own.
