You're in a sumptuous room, with rich brocade in your team colors and fine appointments in copper and marble that should look bright and beautiful -- but everything is dusty and grey, with a furtive, abandoned air. This is a place that's been locked away for a long time. It feels as if it would be sad to linger here for long.

Fortunately (perhaps), after one good look at the room, you catch a brief, pained snatch of melody. Your vision goes dark, and you immediately find your mind somewhere else-- ♫

[dramatispersonae]

The scene replays on the floor under you, light shining up at you like a strange television screen made of marble-- shown again, not relived. Something's different, though; before entering the cage, the figure that was 'you' raises a hand to their chest... the light shines brighter there.

Light drains out of the picture till it's just plain marble again, except for that one point. A stone is resting there, glowing with a soft internal light still.

(To endgame!)
