As the professor continues talking, she uninterestedly looks out of the window she is sitting next to, and is shocked when she sees reality fragmenting before her eyes. She whips her head back around, the classroom now appears to be frozen in time. Gravity begins shifting, and Riley feels the air grow colder. ]

[Riley puts on her jacket, reaches into her pockets, and finds a note. It reads "Time is running out, use it wisely. Don't stay still." She feels sick and looks at the clock. "What does it mean?

It’s encoded and unclear, perhaps in another language. Then, the messages fill her mind—almost too much information is poured into her all at once. The sensation brings her to fling her head back, with her eyes wide open as she convulses. Her pupils shrink and she cries out in pain. Then, she goes completely silent. “I understand.” Her voice echoes across the classroom. “I know what must be done.” Riley transforms into an ominiscent being, and becomes one with the universe.]
