Bucket- Sugary Seizure Button

He shrugged. He took off his hat and pulled something out of it. It was a small remote with a single button.

"This," said Mr. Bucket. "If you use this device, it will safely bring you back to the entrance of the factory. A flying chocolate unicorn will come and let you ride it to the surface."

Keerthi looked at Tide and Mahuika. "I'm sorry. I feel bad about leaving it all to you to deal with, but I can't do it anymore."

"It's okay," said Tide. "We are close to the end anyway. This way one less person needs to get hurt, and it all finishes faster. It was nice to meet you. We should hang out when this is over. As friends. We can go sailing."

"I vape," said Mahuika.

Keerthi smiled, waved goodbye, and pressed the button. No unicorn came. Instead she collapsed on the floor. The creature she was holding was flung out of her hands and off the side of the tower.

"You said it would bring her back safely!" screamed Tide.

"If she used it, yes! You do not use the Chocolate Unicorn Calling Machine by pressing it! All she had to do was hold it while clicking her heels together three times! This was clearly explained in the hidden contract I was eating while you all were signing the contract in the Contract Room."

"Oh my god," said Tide. "Oh my god."

"You mean Ocean," said Mr. Bucket. "Remember?"

"Fix her!" said Tide. "She's having a seizure!"

"Of course she is," said Mr. Bucket. "It is hard not to when you press the Sugary Seizure Button."

"Stop it," Tide said. "Make it stop! She's in pain!"

"Keerthi's fatal flaw," said Mr. Bucket. "It was the seizures! She must have been a secret seizure addict. She could not hold back her demons. How sad."

He smiled. Keerthi wished she hadn't solved her puzzle.

"Or maybe she just pressed the wrong buttons."

The floor rose over her vision.
