The events of ''Core'' occur approximately one year after Madeline first made it to Celeste Mountain's summit. Madeline seems to be on good terms with [[Badeline]], since she still has her double dash, owing to the events of [[Reflection]].

After a simple room which makes Madeline realize that she can no longer refill her dash upon simply landing on the ground, Madeline arrives at a small storage room where Granny was waiting for her. She proceeds to warn the mountain climber that the mountain's powers will affect her differently this time, because of how close she is getting to the heart of the mountain. Madeline then comments on how she has already noticed that (her dashes are now much more limited). Granny then subsequently wishes her friend good luck.

Continuing to converse with Granny will make her comment on [[Badeline]], asking where she is. Madeline then says that she doesn't know, and was expecting her to show up by now; she even theorizes that because she has changed, her "goth" self is not longer a part of her. Granny suggests the opposite, that they have grown together and are now essentially fused into one; the mountain could no longer separate them from each other. Talking to Granny again will make her ask about [[Theo]]; apparently he spent the summer in Vancouver, referencing both [[Instapix|Theo's Instagram account]] and how [[Maddy Thorson]] lives in Vancouver, Canada. Maddy did spend some time with him, but he has returned to California for the moment being; Granny states that he seems like a good man. Madeline then asks how Granny herself is doing; she states that nothing's changed, except she is continuing to become older and older - the mountain, however, was keeping her in shape. Madeline then tells her to take care of herself before venturing off. Going past this point onward requires obtaining a certain number of Crystal Hearts in order to unlock the [[Crystal Heart Gate]].

The rest of the chapter does not contain any plot whatsoever, at least until the end. The final room has much less gravity, and loops vertically; Madeline then wonders if "this is it". A blue crystal heart, aptly named ''Heart of the Mountain'', is located here.

Plot

Show/hide content


The events of Core occur approximately one year after Madeline first made it to Celeste Mountain's summit. Madeline seems to be on good terms with Badeline, since she still has her double dash, owing to the events of Reflection. Madeline and Granny have been in contact via phone for the past year, and the latter had told her about a cave in the mountain; Maddy wanted to explore deeper into it. When she arrives in order to explore the cave, Granny and the Bird have arrived to greet her. The old woman then tells her to follow her.

“Doesn't get any deeper than this!”

After a simple room which makes Madeline realize that she can no longer refill her dash upon simply landing on the ground, Madeline arrives at a small storage room where Granny was waiting for her. She proceeds to warn the mountain climber that the mountain's powers will affect her differently this time, because of how close she is getting to the heart of the mountain. Madeline then comments on how she has already noticed that (her dashes are now much more limited). Granny then subsequently wishes her friend good luck.

Continuing to converse with Granny will make her comment on Badeline, asking where she is. Madeline then says that she doesn't know, and was expecting her to show up by now; she even theorizes that because she has changed, her "goth" self is not longer a part of her. Granny suggests the opposite, that they have grown together and are now essentially fused into one; the mountain could no longer separate them from each other. Talking to Granny again will make her ask about Theo; apparently he spent the summer in Vancouver, referencing both Theo's Instagram account and how Maddy Thorson lives in Vancouver, Canada.
