Quests from The Panic Room: House of Secrets

Paper Birds

Leonard: Now we need to go to the attic. That is where he lived and where true children's magic was happening. At least she thought so.

Task: Go through the attic in the shadows mode.

Marie: Leo, are you here?

Leo: Yes... Come in, Marie. But be careful, the beam is low there. Ouch!

Marie: It is fine, but now I will remember it. So you live... in the attic? But it's terribly dirty here.

Leo: Yes, a little dusty, but if you climb up on the dresser, from the window you can see everything that is happening in the garden. There is also a breeze here, so you can fly paper birds!

Marie: Paper birds? How so?

Leo: I will show you.

The boy went to the dresser, opened the bottom drawer and took out a sheet of paper covered with writing with a huge blob.

Leo: I only take spoiled sheets. Madam has no need for them anyway.

The boy quickly did a few manipulations with the sheet, and the spoiled letter turned into a graceful paper swallow in his hands.

Marie: It's so beautiful! Can it fly?

Leo: Of course!

The boy proudly picked up the bird and gently flew it forward. Picked up by a gust of wind from the window, it rose to the ceiling and slowly glided down to a pile of rags in the corner of the attic. The girl clapped her hands in delight.

Marie: You are a wizard!

Leo: Oh, it is very simple. You know, I also know how to make cranes and gulls. Do you want me to teach you? Look, you need to bend the corners, then fold it in half and bend the edges...

You completed Leonard's task. You received some points of freedom and some tokens.

Leonard: Origami technique. He was taught it by his father who spent several years in Japan. It was exotic in England, almost no one could do that... So it was no wonder that she was impressed.
