I may have said this a few times, but I have been fairly excited to get to this scene and had to do everything in my power to not skip several pages just to work on these next few pages. Scenery is loosely based on this drawing from 2022.

Comic Transcript
Branches and brambles overlap across the page.
Panel 1: Shay's still lying down, but he's now on some grass rather than the bed. He's oddly covered in some glowing markings.
Panel 2: He props himself up, rubbing the back of his head.
Shay: Ugh... I can't sleep.
Panel 3: As he comes too, he looks up and realizes that he's not in his room but rather he is in a misty forest full of dead trees and dried bushes.
Shay: Might as well get up... Oh... huh.
Panels 4-5: He takes a moment to take in his surroundings before going back to his default state of mind, tired and annoyed and very much done with this nonsense.
Shay: Yeah... this is weird.
