Hez remained silent and blank-faced, but Lin peeked around the corner to watch the ensuing battle. Her eyes widened with horror as the scenery changed into a nightmarishly distorted, monochrome version of itself. Alice also transformed into something unrecognizable and murderous. The hiding duo didn't change in appearance, but suddenly Lin felt out of place in this freakish world, which was responding to Alice's violent bloodlust.

Lin hugged Hez, mostly to keep herself calm during the battle.

Finally, the nightmare stopped. Everything returned to normal. Lin stood up and saw Chess dropping something by Alice's feet. The two girls returned to their comrade, and Lin asked, "Is everything all right?"
