Oh, empty my heart
Hopeless romantic as she was, Seren could likely find the silver lining in even the most brusque of rescue operations. All the more since as the creak and groan of the ceiling kept following in her footsteps. When dust and pebbles began to rain down on her she picked up the pace, from saunter to brisk walk into a jog.
Then, a sharp crack like thunder broke over her, and with a terrified squeal she ran. The light of the exit was growing, from a star's faint pinprick to the brilliant glow of a full moon. Her fellow singer's silhouette outlined like a dark shadow, a promise of refuge from the storm.
Steady course to the haven.
But she had no breath left over to sing even as the phrase popped into her mind. Running, with the star-cat speeding along before her feet, Seren reached out a hand towards the man who waited by the light...
... and was struck to the ground when a large rock broke loose from the ceiling, hitting her square on the shoulder.

I've got to make room for this feeling
