The delirium recedes, leaving you cold and disoriented in a forest stripped of color. Gaunt, shadowy figures advance, but before they reach you, Marlow steps from the trees, a flash of searing light reducing them to embers and smoke. A wave of pure relief collapses your guard; you stumble forward and wrap your arms around her. She returns the embrace, then gently tips your chin up with a curled hoof, her dark eyes holding yours with a calm certainty. Together, you begin to walk. "Oh, my dear hare, I am so glad you're safe. Enduring these woods alone has been hell... I've missed you terribly." Marlow's voice is a cheerful, steady beam cutting through the gloom, wrapping you in a warmth that chases the last of the nightmare away.
