We lost

I open my eyes to see white all around as I feel the warmth of energy flowing through my body again. It feels as if my whole body is on fire while ice runs through my veins, causing me to jump. I land on my feet and look around to see I’m in some hospital. It's cold, and the light is hard on my eyes. I hear the motors beeping as I’ve ripped the electrodes off. As I’m peeling them off me, I see my skin has become the web-like fibers again.

But there is something different now: they’ve taken on an even deeper red with what seems to be a black tint to them. I walk over to a window to try and see where I’m at, but I have to look down out it. I see a destroyed city with cars abandoned and buildings in disarray. I turn around, trying to gather myself when Lidaren walks in. Strangely, he seems smaller. I ask him, “What’s going on? Where are we?”
