Hatching the Cocoon

Elliot got back to his room, walking past through his friends who gave him weird looks.

"I'm definitely not hiding something," Elliot chuckled and ran upstairs.

"We know you're hiding something!" Ed yelled from downstairs. "You're not great at keeping secrets, Elliot!"

He only shook his head and continued to his room. Locking the door behind him again, he looked for the perfect spot to place the branch.

"Okay, I got the branch," Elliot sighed. "How do I do this?"

'Place the cocoon in the middle of the branch, there are two strings of sticky rope-like parts of the cocoon. Use that,' Irus instructed.

"There you are," Elliot whispered. "Where have you been?"

'Blocked,' Irus simply replied. 'The Manual is sh*tting with me. My patience is wearing thin.'
