It turns out that after Empathy ran out of the castle 2 damn chapters ago, she went to the 7D's cottage, pressed a button near the stairs that leads to the mine. She jumped down and when she got to the mine, she landed in one of the minecarts. She pulled the lever, found a pickaxe from somewhere and rode the cart around in the mine. She was mesmerized by all the jewels and gems around the place .

Empathy: Wow! Wow, wow, wowie wow, wowie wow!

The 7D were still looking for Empathy everywhere in the cottage, but they just couldn't seem to find her.

Grumpy: Where in the name of chilli cheese fries is she?! It's not like she just vanished out of nowhere like that!

Doc: But I'm sure that we're gonna find her in n-

Sneezy: Fellas, the mine's open!

My precious dwarfskies all went over to where the stairs are and saw that the mine was open, like what Sneeze-man just said.

Sleepy: She must've been sleepwalking and she fell down, possibly to her death.

Bashful: Floomin' trash pandas! Empathy went into the floomin' mine and possibly died?!

Dopey begin forming The Scream while the painting was shown behind him.

Happy: I highly doubt that she died. Well, we all do.

Grumpy: I don't.

Doc gave his one and only a gentle nudge on the arm.

Grumpy: How should I know if she's dead or not? She either got hijacked or just injured pretty badly.

Doc: I guess you're right.

Grumpy: You guess?!

Doc: Look, I don't always agree with you whenever you're being negative.

Dopey: (whistles "Oooooooohhh!")

Sneezy: I'm just gonna say that was a roast, just for the heck of it!

Sleepy: So are we going into the mine or not?

Grumpy and Doc: Yes?

Happy: 🎵So let's go, we'll take it out of here. I think I'm ready to leave, I'm ready to live. I'm ready to go!🎵

Bashful: Now.

The 7D: HEIGH HO!!!!!!!!

My precious dwarfskies jumped down into the mine so that they could still find their soon-to-be 8th member, who could honestly be anywhere in there.
