You awaken to blackness. Frightening, although familiar--this is the same terrible thing you narrowly avoided during your first trip into Lebensbaum. The pain of your death is still real, echoes of the wounds you suffered appearing on your skin. Inspecting your surroundings will tell you that you've woken up inside of the cooled, empty bonfire pit....and the town as it was is nowhere to be seen.
The sky is a whirlwind of blank, dark void. What previously acted as roadblocks on either side of the town seems to have moved upward, blocking out most of the sun's light. The street is barren, filled with piles of broken concrete, shattered glass, and smoking craters where many of the buildings used to be. Old bloodstains dot the pavement, mixing in with overturned cars and crumbling brick walls. Lebensbaum is a dead town, in more ways than one.
Except for the hotel. It stands, as dusty and abandoned as it ever was, but no worse for the wear. Scorch marks can be seen on the ground around it in a clear border, as though it had a barrier protecting it from whatever destroyed the village. If you venture inside, everything is in its place, as though the outside wasn't completely obliterated.
The living can be seen walking around, going about their daily lives, and if you concentrate, you can even see the buildings as they once were--in working order, clean, and in one piece.
As of Monday on Week 10, however, there is a door, seemingly pasted into the middle of the street. As the days tick by, the doors will increase in number, one for each victim.

[ Okay, so Alisha had been very careful around Break, because he is fragile and delicate, but she's upset about this whole thing, and she hasn't really been able to communicate with him and the others as easily as she would have liked to.
And he's just so miserable-looking and it hurts her already-aching chest even more, so Alisha doesn't hesitate to drop to her knees beside him and pull him into a hug. ]

maybe... maybe he wasn't like jack, huh? he's dead but he's not alone, not when so many people are so relieved to see him again. realizing this twists his gut in a certain bittersweet way and he tightens his hold on alisha. ]
Alisha! Oh, Alisha. It's so good to see you again.

But Rhys is here and hugging her back, and Alisha is... crying rather unabashedly now. ]
I didn't want to see you here!

I know, I know. But look... if things go right, if Miata's plan works out, maybe it's only temporary? I'm going to be optimistic, okay?

[ But look, it's been a rough time. ]
