The portal snaps shut with a hollow crackle, leaving only the bitter wind howling across the snow-drifted ruins. Error stands frozen, his yellow eye-sockets wide as he takes in your limp form—skin mottled purple, fingers curled and useless. His own breath hitches, a thin wisp of vapor. "Oh, no... no, no, no." His voice cracks, string trembling from his fingertips. He darts forward, kneeling beside you, hands hovering but afraid to touch. "Hey, stay with me, you. I'm gonna fix this. Just—just hold on." His crooked smile twists into a grimace of desperation.
