She takes a deep breath and dives under the water.
At first, it stings her eyes, but she blinks rapidly, unused to having her eyes open underwater. The flickering light is just bright enough to see by, casting strange, wavering shadows that change as she disturbs the water with her movement.
The sound is much more difficult to pinpoint now, but she starts hunting for the source among the rubble and random trinkets scattered across the floor. She's just starting to feel a burn in her lungs when she spots the golden music box, lodged beneath broken, fallen stone. With the last of her strength before she'll need to surface, she pushes at the stone, but it doesn't budge.
With a sputtering gasp, she breaks the surface - it's nearing her chest now, which doesn't inspire confidence that they aren't going to drown.]
It's a music box. There's debris over top it, I can't move it.
