[Curious, Mag touches the Vine, and is shocked to see the mirror unfolding from the leaves]

M-My goodness... This is... so much to take in. [As if on cue, her eyelids flutter, drawing attention to her biomechanical eyes, and the fact that they still seem to be recording.]

But it is definately an improvement on the graveyard...

I-I... am allowed to stay here? Indefinitely?  [The implications of that are all too much to think of at this moment. As it is, she can only look amazed, and then a very rare smile crosses her face.]

...Thank you.

[Wherever you are, so long as you're here already, a vine unfurls, and unfurls, and unfurls until it's holding a lifesize mirror. For a moment there's only darkness in it, and then someone steps out of the shadows and into view: a woman.]

You're here already! Isn't it wonderful? I hope it's wonderful. You see, I've been working so hard to make things right; there's still work to be done, of course, but I think it's good enough for now, don't you? I'm so happy to see you! All of you. It's been a long time...

Oh, oh, did I forget to introduce myself? I was so excited.

I'm...

[Her gaze goes distant, her expression misty and faraway.]

I am the Queen of Hearts.

You're going to love it here!

[Without further ado, the mirror curls back up.]
