Loudly gasping for air, Ophelia hauls her body out of the icy water and begins to feel the throbbing pain spreading across her neck and shoulders as her injuries heal. Tilting her head to the side, she cracks her bones a few times and wrings her dripping hair out as she steps out of the metal tub. Only when she lifts her head does she realise that she has no idea where the fuck she is. The girl's lips part in confusion, and when she frantically looks beside her, she spots Scott and Stiles. In sync, the pair of boys jump out of their respective baths with gasps and set eyes on their best friend. They all start to relax a little as they become aware that they're within one another's presence.
The room they've found themselves is incredibly large, so large that it could be a warehouse. The floors are a light grey tiling that are currently being flooded with water dripping off each teenager, and as they look around, they notice how the already brightly painted walls appear even whiter with the fluorescent lights on the ceiling. The space is completely empty aside from the three tubs and support beams that are spaced evenly throughout, painted that same white as the rest. It looks like they've just walked into a gigantic dentist's office.
It appears to be at the same time that the three of them turn around and notice the abnormally large tree stump toward the back of the room. Without a guess needed, they all silently agree that this is the Nemeton they've been searching for. "Holy fuck," Ophelia whispers in bewilderment. After all the strife they've gone through trying to locate this tree, it's a little strange to finally be face to face with it. Those words she speaks are also the only two out of four that are spoken for the rest of the time they are together.
