Fourteen minutes had already passed, and Edward continued to advance, using Litty as a GPS, guiding him closer to the bright spot, the center of the maze.

"Edward, we're really close now. We just need to pass through three walls, and then, if I'm not mistaken, take the turn," Litty said, all excited. For the first time, she was really managing to take control of the situation, and if it weren't for her, Edward would never reach the end—at least that's what she was thinking.
