It was as disturbing as waking to the sound of a hospital.
Carmelita came to in a sterile white environment. Lifting her hands to pat herself down, she idlely noted that she seemed unharmed, if terribly weak.
She staggered to her feet, struggling to recall what had happened. There had been a plane crash, an island…
Her eyepieces whirred to life, and she scanned through the shadowy black information.
She paused, looked down at herself, and screamed.
She was floating, black and ephemeral, in the Nexus, her body and equipment practically shadows. The Inspector dropped down and screamed more, turning to notice those sitting and standing around the fountain.
No one noticed.

After a few minutes of screaming, she turned to look at those around her. Three human types, discussing something... one of them reminded her of someone, something... Amber! It was Amber! Alive!
The shroud that seemed to separate her from the real world wavered, but failed to break. Reluctantly, Carmelita trudged away to the Endless Dunes gate, making a note to call Amber as soon as she had recovered from... whatever this state was.
