EMERALD

You're standing together on what seems to be the main street of a small village, paved with cobblestones, with low buildings standing silent on either side. If you look in any of them, you'll find them dark and empty.

In contrast to the Ring, it's rather chilly. The sky is slate-grey, and it seems like there's snow falling, blanketing you and the village in pure white. On closer inspection, the snow turns out to be ash – but the bleaching is literal. Even when you brush it off, your skin, your hair, your clothes, and your keys remain ash-coloured.

A single, feeble light flickers further down the street.

I don't think you'd be a bother.

Kinda weird you're here with us and not your team, but it's no big deal to me, at least.

[nods]

Thanks. I'm Jill.

I'm Roxas. Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you, too. So have you decided on the heart one, then?

Assuming everyone else is cool with it. What do you think?

I don't mind it at all.

[nods] All right.

Just making sure I got the rules, does just one person go in, or do all of us?

I... I'm not sure. It didn't sound as if it were just one...

Okay, so it's not just me, then. We should check, just in case.

Um, Firebird, do we all go in, once we pick a door, or just one of us?

All of you must enter and proceed.

Thanks.
