"What!?" Urgently, Rita turns around to look out the window, and sure enough... they're everywhere. But they're everywhere behind them, too, so... damn it, they just have to take their chances with the courtyard!

Grabbing on to Steven's vines for support, Rita climbs up into the gap that was once a window. "We just have to keep going. There has to be a way through--" She stops suddenly as she feels something wrap around her arm, digging its long thorns into her skin. Before she can do anything to react, it pulls, and with a cry of surprise, Rita is torn away from the window and dragged back into the room.

As Rita struggles, flashes of fire erupting from deeper inside, the black-flowered vines start to close in on the window.
