You dash towards the duplicitous Cardinal and grab the perfect beat from him. He tries his best to deceive you, but the music here is far too loud to hear his words. Well, the music, plus the trembling of the underworld itself as the perfect beat came so close to this Vocal House set that reality threatened to unmake. Armed with the perfect beat you and the scorpion make a dash out of the underworld, hypnotizing the guards with the beat to sneak past them. As you step into just dawning sunrise back on Earth, everything seems right with the world now that the beat is here. The flowers are a bit brighter, the birds more in tune, and your tent is just up ahead. There's so much you'll be able to do, and so many lives you'll improve with the perfect beat, but for now you're just happy to crawl inside the tent and get a good morning's rest.
