Panel 1. The black-haired boy with a backpack from earlier is looking at something ahead of him, one eyebrow raised and his expression startled. He says "*Huh*?" The background behind him is in warm reds and mottled oranges and yellows, giving it an intense look.

Panel 2. From offscreen, he continues "Uh... *Dad*! Those two girls just *disappeared*!" We see the wooden, moss-tinged door that the girls went through, opened slightly. It opens right into a stone wall that looks as if it's older than the stone wall into which the door has been set. Small puffs of cloud come from the base of the door and blow into the main area, and a wisp of cloud curls around the middle of the door, making it impossible to see if the doorknob is still there.

Panel 3. Amy and Liz look astonished, as they lean forward with wide eyes and say "*What*?" The letters are done in alternating pink and purple, representing how they're speaking in unison. The background is vivid, mottled shades of magenta and purple.

Panel 4. Amy and Liz are standing in front of an upside down door set into a stone wall covered with pipes, holding hands and looking around wildly. Amy says "Oh my God! Where are we?" Liz says "I dunno! I dunno!" Amy is still holding the doorknob. The door behind them is wooden and mostly green, and there is a complex pattern of circles on it. As with the other door, it is ringed with smaller stones. There are several reddish pipes set into the wall, but the way they're positioned is different from the ones on the wall at the dam, as these pipes run down the wall parallel to the door and sink into the ground. There are what look like curved stone supports to each side of the door, and the girls are standing on a courtyard paved with circular stones. There appears to be a pond to one side and a larger area of the courtyard to the other, with tall, curving columns and a low black fence. What appears to be a thin bridge is visible in the background.
