In whatever this was, was difficult when Raine struggled to keep hold. It fractured the small memories they tried to focus on. Snapdragon fields would be turned to vast, endless expanses only to be brought spinning back by a glimpse of orange hair, and the hallways of Hexside.
But the halls warp into endless expanses of gratified walls, staircases and tattered banners, green rot growing along them. It threatens to overcome them, to drag them further and further into the endless and incomprehensible.
That was until Raine heard something, barely there but enough to draw their focus. A voice. Somebody else?
They turn in the direction of the voice to a doorframe leading to a more eerie hallway, one cast in strange light. Light that looked unnatural and natural all the same, but it was grounding in how strangely it looked like the way magic could light up when it was free. Unhindered by Covens and sigils. Eerie. But beautiful.
Raine didn't hesitate to step out and into the hallway. It changed- in some capacity it still felt like a hallway, and looked like one. But in others it became a doorway to a balcony, to strange buildings and the ocean waging war on them.
And John. They jump, surprised by the sudden appearance of a person that wasn't from any memories they clung to for sanity. But he was the human they met who was memorable- and quite amusing- and they focus on him, trying to break out of the hallway.
"Is this- John! Are you real?! I don't know if you remember me but we.. I think. No. I know we met on a bus. You're from... space, right?"
D! CW for unreality/rot mention?
