You walk up to it, the hole beneath it glowing ominously with a seeping green light. The quivering shape hovers in the air and makes no movements as your hand reaches out to grab it. You touch it and feel it squelch in your grasp, all cold and wet and writhing.
And in that moment, you feel and watch as everything around you melts away. The endless caverns, and the dark foreboding feeling you'd felt since you got here, the strange creatures, the illusionary Dead City, all of it. All of it flows across your vision and then finally melts away into nothingness. Becoming one with the green haze and then that too distorts into a deeper haze, booming and crackling in its own collective terror.
You float in that nothingness of the green haze, of the remains of that place that was not the Dead City colliding and dissolving into nothing around you. It is almost peaceful, were it not for the fear that suddenly grips your heart.
It is in that moment that you see <span class="mu-g">her.</span>
The green girl stares at you from the centre of the shifting tides of green fog, the corners of her mouth pulled up into something that might be the ghost of a smile. Behind her, you can almost make out the shadow of a decayed, ruined building that towers over the rest of them that collapse and dissolve into nothing all around you. The strange child-who may not even be a child at all-seems amused, just before she too fades into the fog.
Around you, the haze grows thicker and thicker, tightening upon you until you can feel those very same waves trying to dig into you, to crush you beneath them and dissolve you into that same hollow nothingness. You push against them, you struggle and rail against the <span class="mu-g">awful light</span> and you keep pushing, desperately trying to hold your head above the waves.
The <span class="mu-g">greengreengreengreengreengreengreengreen[/spoiler:lit] comes down upon you, just as you force your eyes open and out of the awful nothingness.</span>
