Theresa was pulled into the Imaginary Space by the Imaginary Hands controlled by Sirin. At first... Theresa felt as though she were underwater, unable to breathe or speak, terribly uncomfortable.
But it did not last long. Soon, she found herself somewhere else. There was nothing here... the light was very dim, and the ground below was filled with bottomless deep water.
Theresa discovered that she was standing directly on the water's surface, as if it could support a person. She had not fallen in.
Before Theresa had time to think, a beam of light suddenly appeared ahead of her. There... stood four little girls and a priest dressed in a Schicksal uniform.
The scene before her seemed like a projection, displayed in front of Theresa. She recognized one of the girls... she was probably what that purple-haired girl had looked like in the past.
