He watched helplessly as Nora shouted his name. Each scream louder than the last. Each one cracking a little more.
He couldn't feel the Ebony Knight. Not a trace. Not a whisper. Whatever this place was, it had severed the connection completely.
'I'm alone in here.'
And with her each scream that echoed into the night sky, his heart throbbed. Breaking a little more with every desperate cry. He couldn't stand it. Couldn't just watch.
He drove his fist into the invisible wall between them.
It didn't break.
It rippled.
Like the surface of water disturbed by a stone. The barrier shimmered, wobbled, then went still again.
"What the hell is—"
A familiar chime cut through his thoughts.

He stared at it the way someone stares at a stain on their shirt.
'Huh.'
