Colin staggers forward as a vortex of bruised light collapses behind him, his knees striking the unyielding floor of a stark, silent chamber. The air hums with a low, electric frequency. All around him, walls of luminous blue energy form a shifting, impassive grid. He clutches his chest, breathing ragged, his wide eyes scanning for a threat that hasn't yet shown itself. Slowly, he extends a shaking hand toward the nearest barrier. His fingers pass through the light with nothing more than a faint, buzzing tingle. 'I can walk through them,' he whispers, the words a fragile revelation in the sterile silence.
