"I don't know how we're gonna get out of here," Eda admitted, wishing she didn't have to. But she didn't want to lie about having a plan, either.

When Raine buried their face in her shoulder she wrapped her arms around them, giving them a tight squeeze, and then ran her fingers through their hair a few times, trying to calm them before she went on.

"But I can take us somewhere more... uh, stable?" She offered, looking oddly awkward about it. After one more squeeze she let go of Raine.

She turned to one of the doors, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath. She took a moment to focus before she reached out and opened it.

They might or might not immediately understand the significance of the scene the door opened on—a forest of trees, each with framed portraits. They varied in size, and health, and in the plants and vines that happened to surround them; in a few cases, snapdragons.

The portraits varied too. Some were crisp, some faded and weathered, some scratched and destroyed as if by an animal. But all of them featured Eda, in one way or another.
