A cold, delicate hand grabs yours and pulls. It pulls, and it pulls... there's a sense of urgency in this icy grasp, as well as a trace of reluctance. Abruptly the hand let's go, right as your vision fades to black, and for a brief moment, only a brief moment, your senses disappear. There's only the eerie sensation of weightlessness before your feet are settled back on solid ground again.

...Why would it be impossible?

Re: ...?

[screwthatnoise]

"Because Zwei cannot go out there. That means... it may have been another part of Hail's heart. But I have never heard of it."

Re: ...?

[glorious]

...I see. Thank you.

[glancing down at Janta]

Shall we investigate the scene?

Re: ...?

[screwthatnoise]

Janta seems anxious.

"I... if you'd like. But you could die, right?"

Re: ...?

[glorious]

...It's possible, but if we're both on the look-out we can prevent it from happening.

Re: ...?

[screwthatnoise]

"Okay! Then... then let's go outside! I trust you, after all."

Re: ...?

[glorious]

[smiles]

All right...If you feel the danger is too great, let me know and we can fall back as well.

...Where is the nearest door out?

Re: ...?

[screwthatnoise]

"That would be the hall we were in earlier. There are doors leading out. Or we can break through one of the tall windows in the back. I don't think the creepy nurse cares. Right?"

The nurse just looks over you and the bear and shrugs.

"Yeah, see!"

Re: ...?

[...]

The door would likely be the safest option.

[and lets backtrack our way to the door, shall we?]

Re: ...?

[screwthatnoise]

The bear was up for excitement, how could you.

But no, Janta doesn't seem disappointed, it's ok, and back to the front doors you go! They're open now, and you can see the vibrant outdoors.

[gently pats Janta's head and steps outside]

Just ignore the description of the tree—that's no longer there.
