You and Carmen have been surrounded by Hydra. You're in no position to keep fighting and are forced to surrender. As they're leading you off as prisoners, Carmen glances at you. "Don't be afraid, I'll be fine and the ghosts won't hurt you."
Before you can ask what she means, she takes your hand and suddenly the ground feels like it's slipping from under you. You both emerge in the heart of the shadow realm, a strange, space-like dimensional plain. As you float there, taking it in, you realise Carmen's grip on your hand loosens.
You look at her, seeing she passed out from the effort of bringing you here with her. You try to call out to her, but you're completely muted. That's when you realise this realm is completely silent and no sound can be heard here.
While you attempt to wake Carmen up, wispy, spectral entities start appearing around you both until you're surrounded, some flying over to Carmen and pulling her away from you
