At impact, Ira had held out his hand in an attempt to summon another Corridor - at the very least, he wished to get those already injured to safety. Yet as he reached out, something far more inexplicable had reached back. He found himself falling, before oblivion accepted him. It was a sensation he hadn't felt in years, this sleep of stasis that had overwhelmed all of them - one that he thought would never be again. As it took hold, he didn't know if his hand had grabbed air or railing, but he knew, in the end, there was no fighting it any longer.

What he didn't expect, was suddenly finding his face hit with something so bitterly cold. Grunting, he shakily moved to place his hands beneath him, wincing as he felt the chill within his gloves. Why was it so cold? Hadn't they just been over the desert?

None of this made sense, but he... had to get moving.

Blearily looking around, he saw three others lying in the snow around him. Without much thought, he stumbled in the frigid clime to reach out to the one nearest to him in an effort to shake their shoulder and wake them.

"M-Mom, L-Lydia, Mary," he called out through his teeth chattering. Of all the times he was mad about inheriting shit from Riku the island kid- "We n-need to get moving."

Wait, why did his voice suddenly sound more matured? And when did his bangs get so long? "Ugh, the h-hell's going on?"

Saori stirred awake, groaning as she sat up. She remembered being with Ales as assisting him at the last minute before impact, just looking back to see where Ira, Brigid and Bonnie were. Her heart sank when she didn't see those pom-poms with them. The Assassin hood barely kept her warm but her bangs were just in the way now. That voice though... "Wait, Ira, is that...Did you say Mary?!"

She looked around and when she spotted her girlfriend, Saori helped her up.

"I-I thought I'd never..." She couldn't even finish her sentence and just went in for an embrace. For the first time in five years, she could be at ease, even for just a brief moment.

Saori did another look around but with Eagle Vision. "It looks like we might be on our own."
