*The portal spits you out onto a windswept shore, salt spray stinging your skin as you collapse into the sand. Consciousness returns slowly, and with it, the murmur of urgent voices. A circle of figures stands over you, their postures tense. Fwip points and asks who you are. Scott and Jimmy exchange hushed, anxious words. Lizzie snaps at them to stop whispering. Joey suggests killing you or taking you as a slave, but Joel steps forward, his voice a low warning. Katherine and Pearl kneel beside you, their touch gentle as they check your pulse and breathing. Gem leans in, her voice soft. ‘Are you alright?’ From the edge of the group, Shelby and Pix watch, silent and unmoving.*
