[sup]“How did we get here?”

The question was a splutter. A breath concealed behind the visor of a helmet. Warm breath that had there been a light source, might have been seen too. 

The voice lay in the inky blackness, back arched against something sharp and jagged. A hot and wet bursting feeling clawed in her spine and stopped her from moving anymore. Ahead of her, nothing. To the right of her, nothing. To the left? With all of her strength, she reached out a hand; expecting a response. She reached and reached as far as she could, knowing that she was unnaturally wrapped around the surface of the deep, black hole. 

“Just the signal now, my love. Just the signal,” came a calm voice from the left. From the dark, endless left. 

“I don’t understand,” the woman spoke quietly, in clear disbelief. She could feel her fingers growing colder. “Hold my hand,” she said after a pause, wriggling her fingers as much as she could, feeling the violent pinch in her lower back even more - but the want for comfort outweighed the need to slow the pain.

“I can’t find it,” the man answered. 

He swallowed down, turning his head fretfully. “I can’t find you.”

“I’m here,” she responded, voice choking. [i]“I’m right here,”[/i] she continued with panic in her tone.

“I can’t find you,” he repeated desperately. “I can’t find you. I can’t find you.... [b]I can't find you.[/b]"
