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.

"I am helping her."

The nurse casually walks away, leaving Coping to sit and look at her hands in a daze. She eventually looks at you.

Are you alright...? What just happened?

"I died... I—"

She sits up, and tries to stand.

"I need to go outside. Right now."

[a worried expression crosses his face for a moment—before nodding firmly and offering a hand to help her to her feet]

But you're not going alone. I'm coming too.

She studies him for a second... then takes it, finishing the climb to her feet. Her voice had urgency, but she's calmer now than she was before.

"Let's go."

[nods in response, leading the way out of the room]

Back outside you go, only... the tree's not there anymore. There's no trace of it.
