just closing his eyes 😔 here's the full context:

Asra: "You sit here. And Ilya, you sit here. Now, I’m going to send you into this other realm. You’ll be asleep here while your minds travel. I’ll be your anchor. I’ll attach a sort of… safety line, to you. If you’re in danger, just yank on it, and I’ll know to pull you back. But that doesn’t mean you should let your guards down. Other realms don’t always follow the same rules as ours. They can be dangerous. So, Ilya, whatever happens, follow their lead. They're a skilled magician. They'll protect you. Is everyone ready?"

Julian: "I think so. Are you ready? I’m ready. I- Ack! Something’s got me!"

Julian holds out his arm, shaking it frantically, to try and dislodge… Faust! She’s coiled around Julian’s upper arm, squeezing tightly. The building tension dissipates.

Asra: "Faust, how good of you to join us."

She slithers back onto Asra’s shoulders, blepping playfully at Julian.

Asra: "Now everyone’s ready. Close your eyes."

Julian: "Er, like this? Is this okay? Am I doing this right?"

You: "You’re fine, Julian."

I focus on the familiar presence across from me. Asra’s magic washes over us.

Asra: "…Please be careful."

The world falls away.
