[Silently, he accepts her method of leaving, too exhausted by trauma to even register the method of escape she's brought out. And distracted. Hearing voices and screams in his head is something that never really stopped.
Once they're out of the hole, they're in front of the hospital in Deerington. It's the same sinkhole that lead those who went through the gate to get to Trench. Against the nearest wall of the hospital is memory Lance, who has propped Allura up against the brick. Usually, when people died for the first time in the dream, the body would fade, but her death had not been accepted yet. Not by him.
"Allura?" he shakes her gently and her head lolls to the side. That lifeless motion seems to jarr him into taking in the full extent of her injuries. It looks almost like he's seeing them all for the first time, "Wh-what?"
He grabs her shoulders and shakes her this time, harder, desperate as it slowly, finally starts to sink in, "Allura?! Please, I... we escaped. Please wake up. Wake up!"
From there he repeats the pleas for her to wake up in a more hushed whimpering, tears starting to well and fall. He's caught in a loop of inability to accept it and having it right in front of him. He's breaking.
Current Lance has turned away from the scene and as it continues, he crosses his arms, shoulders rising close to his ears. And then finally, it seems to hit and completely break him. Her body fades and turns into a ghost repeating her last moments over and over in a loop and memory Lance is frozen watching it.
On the horizon, the red lion can be seen flying towards the scene. She is downsized to about the size of a large horse, but it is still her.]
