With the appearance of the door of light, the endless darkness that had once covered this place was finally lifted. The reflection of the captain within the enormous eyeball let out a quiet sigh as her form rapidly began to dissipate like dust scattered by the wind.
Moments later, she reappeared outside the eyeball. However, her body had become extremely faint and translucent. She resembled nothing more than a wandering ghost.

Grey smiled faintly, while Roxanne gave a silent nod.
Without another word, the captain's transparent figure flew forward and headed straight toward the door of light. Grey and Roxanne followed closely behind.
But as they drew nearer to the towering door, which stood several feet tall and radiated an almost sacred brilliance, both of them couldn't help but feel a faint sense of fear rise in their hearts.
