See, the thing is: Why would she ever expect him to run towards her now that she's leaving? She's pretty certain he's disarmed, and this is an anime. So when she hears the splish-splashing of his footsteps running up behind her, she turns slightly to see what that sound is--
And in a panic, accelerates the closure of the space. Unfortunately, she's left tumbling backwards out of it and he's too close.
The momentum of his run sends him toppling forward, gravity turning the flat ground into a hill behind him. He collides with Five, sending her toppling through the narrowing exit from the battle space. They both land badly, in a clump, atop several cushions laid out beside the most impeccable garden space that Gyre has probably ever seen. Every space is perfectly laid out with stones surrounded by sand, bordered by rocks or water, and featuring flawlessly trimmed bushes and shrubs. There are flowers in several places, bringing a pop of color to the space. The sound of rushing water is obvious at the edges of the space. The edges are absolutely cliffs, where was this? Instead of being surrounded and hidden in a secluded forest, the low clouds just above them reveal that this place is at a high altitude. On the mountain?
At the very edge of the space, seated atop a massive boulder with their legs folded and numerous arms resting, is a truly massive yellow monster wearing what looks like multicolored robes draped over or wrapped around far more than just two arms. They're facing away, meditating? Their gaze out off of the cliff, out into the space beyond.
Who was that?
Where is this?
"Ow- Get- off! You! Why!" Five exclaims, struggling to kick Gyre away from her. She smells vaguely like sage, nutmeg, and freshly made noodles.
