(I am so bad about keeping up with this now im so sorry gksjdbgks i'm not obsessively watching anime i promise)

Lark and Lio deduce that the tech-paper is a verse. It reads: 'ten number the doors, but first lies the key. A son set in savior's soul releases orbs bound by sand.'

What do you think it means?

(yipes)

"There's an alliteration, a number, and the rest is Greek and gibberish to me," Florian comments. "Sounds like something put too many times through a bad translator, or a prophecy from a cheap fantasy novel. Anyone else able to make sense of it?"

(that's highly sophisticated 5-minute cipher to you lol)

"We gotta find a key before the code works maybe unless there are ten doors in here. Orbs bound by sand.....probably not good, so us guys probabky should watch oue step." Lio says smartly(not)

(it's really complex..... Myst is greatly amused and a bit baffled xDDD)

Florian snorts, suppressing immature laughter. "Maybe there's something in the words themselves? Like, the first letters or something-"

Sai grins when he listens to the puzzle. He liked puzzles and challenges, and this perfect combination excited him. He's immediately annotating the verse. The last line made no sense to him, but perhaps it would if he solved the rest first.
"'Ten number the doors'.. There were ten spaces for the code, right? Maybe something is going on there and just as likely not. There's many ways to interpret that part and the next part of the first line and I may not have the right ones. 'But first lies the key'. Beside each of the letters and corresponding numbers, there were different drawings of keys, if I'm remembering correctly. Could that be what key they were meaning? Or key as in the answer, or code, for the computer thing-y? It feels as if I'm back were I started."
Sai shrugs and begins to rock on his heels. Both ideas he had put up for discussion didn't sound right to him, but he couldn't figure out a way that sounded right. Perhaps he needed to simply look at it literally, at face value. The last part of the verse still didn't make sense to him.
"I'm not helping, am I? Just causing more uncertainty and problems." He chuckles at himself and his foolish attempt at figuring the verse out. He looks around for any doors, pretty sure he hadn't seen any other doors when he had entered the room but wanting to check one more time in case they really have to be looking for doors. To answer Lark's question, Sai didn't have any children.

"Lark, I am like, literally a collage dude whose job as a YouTuber isn't enough to pay off tuition. I definitely don't have sons that I know of, unless calling the stuff i make "sons" is a thing." Lio snorts.

"I don't think it's legal for a seventeen year old to have children," Lilith says, glancing at Lark, "but no, I do not have any sons."
She studies the verse, mentally going over the uncovered clues again. She sighs. She doesn't care much for puzzles like these - to her, they're boring and dull, but she supposes they're unavoidable in situations like these, not that she can think of any other circumstances where she's paid to retrieve some magical object from an ominous rumbling room.
She turns her mind back to the puzzle, an idea slowly forming in her mind. "Wait, so the numbers and letters have keys engraved beside them, right? What if the 'first lies the key' part is telling us that the key is the one that's next to the number one and the letter o?"
