luthir gives vi a boost through the window before hopping in gracefully after her. the moment their feet hit the ground, however, the scene looks vastly different than it did through the 'window'. the ground is covered in dead leaves and plants, the sky above them clouded and gray. the air itself feels dead. only ahead, behind a strange grove of trees that seem bent together and moving slightly, does she see a bright living light that appears to be held back by the copse.
luthir takes a few steps that way, staring in wonder, and as he gets closer he can see that the trees are actually made of that shadow material, and aren't trees at all, so much as grasping horrible hands, the branches fingers, that are keeping that light at bay. he stops and turns back to her, amazed and disturbed by the sight as realization slams home. ]
I think it's-- what's been trying to return to you since spring came, Helillóte.

He has been holding it back from you.
