[ the woman walking through coraline confirms elektra's suspicions that she's not hearing or seeing them, that they're viewing something that's already happened. before she can reach out to either of her companions, the scene changes, light and dark shifting in and out so fast it makes her head spin. and then, just as suddenly as it begins, it stops. and then there's the scream.
the girl from before is lain out on the ground, barely more than a skin covered skeleton now, mouth slack and eyes staring at nothing. and elektra has seen enough death to know what she's become. ]
We need to leave. Now.
[ but before she can make the move to grab either of them and run, the creature comes from out of nowhere, huge and quicker than it should be able to move. and then it starts to feast.
elektra grabs for elizabeth's shoulder, turning her away from the gruesome scene, and takes her hand, running towards coraline to grab hers as well. the fact that the creature is eating the corpse of the girl and hasn't moved towards any of them suggests that it's in the past, too, but she doesn't want to press their luck. ]
