Ah, that did it. I forgot to ask about it afterwards, it seems. Thanks!
I also want to say, I've been having a blast playing through so far.
I'm trying to get the world fragment from the western ruined castle - the one with the time portals - but I can't figure it out.
I've fixed the chimney, and i need to get the key in the past. However, the only way I can think of to get the key is by using the second floor time portal, since I can't go up in the past directly, and to get to that portal, I need to jump down from the third floor (I'm assuming that's what the sparkles are), and in order to get to that hole, I need... a key.
Am I missing something?
