Deeply unsettled by the content of the CloseKnit meeting, Elliott and "Sunshine" are led to a back room to discuss particulars about joining. They defy efforts to separate them, and after unproductive questioning, they are momentarily left alone. Elliott and "Sunshine" decide to make a run for it, but are knocked unconscious in their attempt. They awaken in the building's basement with Blake, who tells them that he knows about Brachium and plans to use their connection to him to open communications with the realm of Death. He draws "Sunshine" into a dreamscape.
