...Greetings, traveler.

Or, should I call you 'condemned' now?

No matter. The result is the same. You stand before a hill. Atop of the hill is your freedom, so to speak. Your task is to reach the hill's top.

But you cannot reach the hill alone. You must bring the boulder with you. Push it, pull it, do whatever you must. But that boulder.. it must reach the top just as you have.

Until then? Do as you please.

Even should you take an eternity, I will be waiting at the top to greet you.

Then.. good day to you. And, farewell, for now.

Oh, and one more thing. I had almost forgotten to mention this.

A person had approached me. They called themselves 'Zeni.' Quite the ignoble name, but I digress.

They also wished for me to extend their apologies to you. I could hardly understand whatever madness they were speaking of, but they mentioned something about their.. 'bot creations,' and how they've gotten lazy. Supposedly, they ran out of ideas for their little creations, as far as I've gathered. I suppose this is their way of asking for more ideas. Though I could hardly imagine what musings could strike them at this moment...

Hah. Well, perhaps they'll escape from their little mind prison sooner or later. Seeing as how they had already left this place before you entered, I have a feeling that they have some sort of means of leaving their... 'slump,' as they've called it.

But enough talk. I've overstayed my welcome, either way. Let me distract you no further. Though, let me warn you now... you may find your actions rather pointless in the grand scheme of it all.
