			A strange pressure wells behind your eyes, and the sound of the sea floods your ears. Your vision dims as your eyes cloud with a silvery blue cast. You feel weightless, drifting, and before you realize it, you begin to murmur in a voice not quite your own.

			Coming unbidden into your mind's eye, your vision swims and fills with dark water flowing upward like smoke, curling around a rusted chain. A single comb drifts just out of reach, its teeth tangled with seaweed that bleeds light. The water clouds and thickens, and the vision slips from your grasp like a forgotten name.
