Finally will to leave those antiques covered in cobwebs to take a walk outdoors?
I deem you need a rest indeed.
 [MADELINE sadder left]
Ohh, not that...I'm just thinking some questions about Don Quixote.
 [BADELINE sigh left]
Well, I guess so.
Though there's one year since you read DonQuixote last time, but as for modern virtue ethics, he actually could be a model of practical reason.
So tell me, what you've been thinking about that taking a walk outdoors can be worthy.
[MADELINE normal left] 
At my first sight, Don Quixote was a knight with insanity, a fool with ridiculousness, a figure of satire.
And I just reckoned the book as a exaggerated and comical work, an amusing popular read.
It made my puzzled why he has become one of the most iconic literary figures.
[BADELINE scoff left]
Not wrong. When Don Quixote first appeared, everyone reckoned him as a fool.

I reread Don Quixote every few years, and the feeling was different each time.
At the second time, I saw more of his positive qualities.
Don Quixote's disappointments made me laugh at him, as well pity him.
When I pitied him, I thought of my own frustrations.
When I laughed at him, I knew deep down he wasn't any more ridiculous than I am.
[BADELINE angry left]
"Most people are mad, the difference lies only in the type of madness"
Isn't it?
Ridiculous, yet endearing. That's what you felt at that time.
[MADELINE deadpan left] 
Wow.

[MADELINE sadder left]
Later on, I noticed Don Quixote's aspect of reason and moral.
Though he seemed like someone to be mocked, he was quite serious — down to his bones.
As long as he wasn't talking about chivalry, his words could promoted morality stemmed from his reason.
His madness was only his paranoid pursuit of morality.
[BADELINE angryAlt left]
Maybe his feelings weren't irrational, but his imagination and pure reason were too strong.
If the conclusion proved by his feelings don't match his imagination and reason, he could completely ignore his feelings.
This is another appearance of Don Quixote—a serious moralist, a deeply honorable man.
[MADELINE normal left]
Right...
Don_Quixote04=
[MADELINE sadder left]
But now, I reckon Don Quixote as a tragedy.
He sacrifices himself willingly, just to single-mindedly pursue an ideal that can't be accommodated by the reality.
He pursues justice, but his virtues make him look badly foolish...
Don Quixote's story, also the saddest of all stories.
To right wrongs, help the suffering, seek truth — Sigh, these noble will are no more than ridiculous dreams.
[MADELINE distracted left]
Cervantes created Don Quixote, but also laughed at himself, didn't he?
Besides the sorrow, whatever can explain that cruel laughter?
[BADELINE concerned left]
Madeline......Madeline...

Madeline。Madeline.
[MADELINE normal left]
I'm here.

Cervantes himself was also a hero, spending most of his life in the confrontations of knights and chivalrics. 
He, as a writer, couldn't do away with poverty when he was alive.
Maybe he did give his own spirits to Don Quixote.
Don Quixote's story, is partly Cervantes' story.
But are Don Quixote's and Cervantes' stories truly meaningless?
This kind of Don-Quixote-ism — this kind of painstaking but unappealing foolish thing — is meant to teach the future to appear now,
to face the critical realities with nothing but only an exhausted horse, a broken suit of armor and a emaciated body.
This spirit of knowing the impossibilities but still do it, is truly mirroring the philosophers and pioneers throughout history.
To spend the lifetime pursuing the truth like this, no matter the outcome, no matter if understood or not,
he who possesses that spirit and perseverance will attain peace insides naturally.
And the world will definitely be reformed — just as we're now able to read their stories.
 [MADELINE peaceful left]
Maybe you're right.
Don_Quixote06=
[BADELINE sigh left]
Perhaps this is not the right way...
 [MADELINE normal left] 
I wonder if normative ethics hit the blind lane when it discarded the God. It seems that they were unable to establish any universal values.
[BADELINE serious left]
I meant, you took the wrong way.

Don Quixote reflects the most modern dilemma.
 individuals' dissatisfaction with the world they live in, and the struggle to make the world match their desires.
[BADELINE worriedAlt left]
Why "modern"?
[MADELINE normal left]
For when Cervantes was writing, the world is no longer an established existence.
In that age, many significant changes were unfolding, and much of heritage between the antiquity and the Middle Ages had grown suspect.
Due Quixote which is not an antagonism between individuals and the deity, 
nor a confrontation against the universe with the power of abstract, just like what the Greek tragedies was.
It is also not like the Dante's work, which transforms human's desire into the longing in sublime transcendental field, 
reflecting on a perfect and self-consistent universe — the world machine.
On the contrary, Don Quixote is a struggle of the individuals against the intractability of the world he inhabits.
The world, which is full of the lack of material, trapping in the limit of time, was drifting from ideals further and further,
which seemed to exist in only few individual's mindsets.
As what Hamlet said, "That ever I was born to set it right!",
which was also Don Quixote's declaration.
[BADELINE worriedAlt left]
Don Quixote stands as an epic, which represented the God betrayed the world.
Meaning will never permeate the reality fully and completely, yet in the absence of meaning, reality would dissolve into trivial nihility.

Note 01 from Runmo
This map requires lots of spring cancels.
If you dash shortly after triggering a spring, you can cancel momentum given by the spring.
Runmo02=
Note 02 from Runmo
Trigger the collapsing block, hold nothing but right, you'll land on it.
Mm... that's all.
Runmo03=
Note 03 from Runmo
Trigger the collapsing block, dash over to interact with the spring.
Use demodash for more leniency.
Runmo04=
Note 04 from Runmo
Here's an important use of demodash: dh (demohyper).
It's similar to a superdash, but replaces the horizontal dash with demodash.
This allows you to perform a hyper mid-air.
Mm... I know you can cheese this, but hey, it's just a tutorial ^.^
Runmo05=
Note 05 from Runmo
Mm...Here's a tip:
You can neutral jump on collapsing block, then triggering it when you want.
Runmo06=
Note 06 from Runmo
You can jump twice on the touch switch gate: just don't get the burst of speed in your first jump!
Or, get the speed on your first jump and go through it :D
Runmo07=
Note 07 from Runmo
Mm...Just a tip...again:
Demphypers are not required here.
Runmo08=
Note 08 from Runmo
You might've noticed...
By dash up and buffer a jump, you can wallbounce without breaking the block.
You can do it UwU

Note 09 from Runmo
Hmm... This is Runmo here.  
As you can see, this is my first completed and released map.  
Since I'm not too experienced in mapping... there might be many imperfections in this map...  
I'll gradually improve, and I should do better next time.  
During the creation of this map, many people provided tremendous help.  
Special thanks to:  
Myn_Gen for providing cat sprites, the Bumper seeker, and the No-Dash-Refill Zone.  
Riki for the windmill.  
spooooky for the brick blocks.  
ArcyFieldS and Voidsd for the English translation.  
X_asterisk_x for helping create two Moonberry surfaces.  
X_asterisk_x, Voidsd, Cheese Sesame Paste, and others for playtesting.  
Everyone in the mapping group for helping solve various problems.  
The creators of numerous helpers like ChroniaHelper, CommunalHelper, DJMapHelper, VivHelper, VortexHelper, and many more.  
AfterDawn, Saplonily, UnderDragon, Shadow, and many others for their assistance.  
Without their help, this map could never have been completed.  
If you have any mapping suggestions or other feedback, feel free to share anytime!  
I don’t have a Discord account yet... but I’ll register one soon awa.

All visible objects, man, are but as pasteboard masks. there,
But in each event—in the living act, the undoubted deed —
some unknown but still reasoning thing puts forth the mouldings of its features from behind the unreasoning mask.
To me, something like a wall, shoved near to me.
Sometimes I think there's naught beyond.
But 'tis enough. He tasks me; he heaps me;
Who's over me? Truth hath no confines.
Man! Thou! is thou!
The one staring at the screen!
Take off thine eye! more intolerable than fiends' glarings is a doltish stare!
And be the agent, or be the principal, I will wreak that hate upon thou.
Now, move forward, I will battle you with all the tenderness of humanity!
Runmo12=
[MADELINE normal left]
Nice!
[MADELINE angry left]
Oh no...that's not fun at all!
Man! Thou! is thou!
The one staring at the screen!
Take off thine eye! more intolerable than fiends' glarings is a doltish stare!
Thou who control everything yet can't conquer them, I stumble toward thou, ready for a final clash.
Let the collapsing blocks and move blocks crash to the mountain's base!
If I'm not included in it all, then let me be dragged down to pieces!
I will fight thou to my very last breath!

Normative ethics largely inherits Christian moral traditions, characterized by: 1.Focus on whether {n}actions are morally permissible; 2.Strict legal codes as safeguards; 3.A strong sense of duty as the core {n}moral psychology. Kantian and utilitarian ethics both offer syllogisms for moral {n}decisions. Kantian version: Major premise: I ought to act in ways that all rational{n} beings would agree upon. Minor premise: In scenario X, action M is universally{n} agreeable to all rational beings. Conclusion: Therefore, I ought to take action M. {n}Utilitarian version: Major premise: I ought to act in ways that bring{n} the greatest happiness to the greatest number. Minor premise: In scenario X, {n}action M brings the greatest happiness to the majority. Conclusion: Therefore, I ought {n}to take action M. Normative ethics uses such logic to judge moral legitimacy. {n}The major premise expresses its highest moral aim, and the minor premise defines {n}what action fulfills that aim. To ensure these arguments work, it seeks{n} universal, definitive values and rules — akin to Christianity's concept of absolute truth.{n} But unlike Christianity, it relies not on God but on human reason. Yet compared to God's omniscience, human individuals or collectives have limited moral capacity. The ideal of eternal universality seems unreachable. Morality is {n}fraught with disagreements — that’s the nature of ethical life and theory. Ethics {n}itself was born from such conflicts. In practice, when an ethicist proudly claims {n}their rules are universally accepted by "all rational beings", it's often other {n}ethicists — equally rational — who disagree most fiercely. Eventually, the search for universal laws faces widespread disappointment. No one can guarantee an absolute moral standard. Why? Because they discarded the convenient concept of "God", trying {n}to root universal law in "human nature" or "reason". But when people {n}ask "what is human nature?" disagreement erupts again. If universality comes from humans, then {n}whose perspective truly reveals the universal law? What we see are countless differing rules, {n}duties, and codes. This Godless moral system contains an inherent interpretive {n}flaw — the universal moral force never fully emerges. Without that authority, who still {n}takes it seriously? Morality has become optional — not just in action, but{n} even in principle. Normative ethics seems to have hit a dead end — perhaps{n} only by returning to God can it solve the dilemma of moral incoherence.

Those kitties stuck in the floor are so cute...  
But they block you from recovering your dash!  
Apparently, they can even fly in the sky...

Mm...Here's a tip:
The room ahead will be  {0.3}{~}a bit{/~}  more challenging than the other rooms on this map.  
These Moonberries will not count toward the collection either.
It's recommended to attempt it only after Apotheosis.
