[The rubble-strewn room, filled with demons just a few moments ago, has become eerily quiet in the space of a few seconds. The phantom lights have died, as have the alarms - Nik and Ratsel remain unharmed as nothing sought to attack them in the skirmish.
The three paths still lie before them - the way forward marked by the will o' the wisp, the path Nik had illuminated, and the hidden hole in the rubble.
From the forward path comes the sound of sudden coughing and a vague shimmer in the air; this is followed shortly by Phantom Girl's reappearance as she re-enters the visible spectrum.]
What was that?! What happened? There's nothing down this hall anymore; I tried to go through...!
