The girl wakes up in a foreign space. She thinks she must be dreaming. She takes the opportunity to explore this temporal and fantastical space, getting herself used to the environment. But as time passes by, she realizes that this is to real to be a dream. This is when the space changes -- the air feels trapped and it feels suffocating. Her anxiety level reaches peak and fights for freedom. But she comes to a realization that, she is trapped. Relinquishing to the situation, she gives up all hope.
