i really only want a hint, so please don't tell me straight out what to do.

im on year 3, at the edge of the world and im stuck in the safe.

ive closed the door, and used the scythe on the cable to make the secret open. i've talked to meche and made a puddle on the floor by using the scythe on the sprinkler.
i have no idea what to do with the axe.

eeek, i'm going to have look at a walkthru soon.
i've persisted in trying everything again but alas i am still stuck.
i've spent hours running around the room now, i need help.

pull the axe on the tile.

turns out i'd already tried this but just on the wrong tile :D

*goes to play again*

I evolve to the next level. yaaay. What is it? Mechanic? Dunno
