[After a little more work, you manage to get the bed close enough to the window that if you stand on it you should be able to just reach it.]

[moextispicy]

[does just that]

[zettai]

[The window is currently closed. Do you try to open it, or attempt to look and see what's outside first?]

[moextispicy]

[look outside first]

[zettai]

[The view out the window is completely pitch black.]

[moextispicy]

[...Well. That's cheery. Attempts to open it]

[zettai]

[The window opens without much resistance. But the view outside the window doesn't change, and the space outside almost seems to radiate a feeling of consuming emptiness.]

[moextispicy]

[hesitates, torn between trying to figure out if she can climb out, and figuring out if she wants to]

[zettai]

[Of course, you have all the time in the world to think; there's nothing but quiet around you as you debate your options.]

[moextispicy]

[...yeah okay trying to climb out]

[zettai]

[It's a bit difficult to fully reach and lift yourself through the window from the bed, but definitely not impossible if you're trying hard.]

[moextispicy]

[definitely trying pretty hard. Doesn't like this place.]

[zettai]

[You manage to hoist yourself up through the window after a bit of struggling. Do you jump out?]

[moextispicy]

[...actually...]

[brb, attempting to do the traditional bedsheet climb out the window]

[zettai]

[It seems successful. You have no problem working with the bedsheet or setting up the makeshift rope.]

[moextispicy]

[It's way too preliminary to claim victory. attempts to climb out]

[zettai]

[The minute you reach the outside of the room, its presence disappears entirely and you're freefalling.]

[moextispicy]

[skdjfhskjdfhskdjfh flailing blindly, hoping to grab onto the wall or something]

[zettai]

[There's nothing there, just emptiness and a long, long fall.]

[moextispicy]

[...trying to decide which she hopes for less, a splat or an eternity of falling. ...Definitely the eternity.]

[zettai]

[Luckily enough, you get neither! After what probably feels like an entirely too long time falling, you may notice that your fall starts to turn slower and softer, more like you're floating downwards to something.]

[moextispicy]

[...wondering if this is like the floating between the cubes at the beginning, and seeing if she can control her movement by will]

[zettai]

[You can, but there doesn't seem to be much of anywhere to go as you're still completely surrounded by darkness on all sides. However, after a bit more time, your feet seem to brush a solid surface, and as you land, new scenery begins to slowly surround you like a picture being drawn over the darkness.]

[moextispicy]

[watches it]

[zettai]

[As the world begins to perfectly envelop you, you'll see it's a library--not just any library, but one particularly beautiful and so expansive that it's impossible to see or even imagine where it ends. It's so large, with so many books and such tall shelves that it wouldn't be hard to believe that this place could contain every story that's come into existence throughout all of history. Much like the Sea of Fragments, you are not bound by gravity and can float freely throughout the expanse.]
