[Caitlyn struggles, at first. But the woman's fingers are digging hard into her scalp, and no amount of flailing dislodges her. As she drags Caitlyn deeper, deeper, the hard points of her fingertips become sharper, the pads of her palms pressing into the sides of Caitlyn's head start to thin until nothing but bone remains.
The surprise of it knocked all the air out of Caitlyn's lungs, and she's already desperate to breathe. She tries again to struggle against the woman, but she feels... weaker. Trying to break the woman's grasp on her accomplishes nothing. What's happened to Xie Yun, she wonders? Has he been pulled under, too? Are they both going to drown here?
Her lungs are burning and her head is swimming, and at some point she reflexively breathes in.
But she doesn't breathe in water. Her lungs actually fill with air, and in pure shock, she opens her eyes, only to see that the woman kissing her has almost entirely reverted to a skeleton. She lets out a cry of horror, flailing harder against the woman holding onto her. Her eyes skid past the skull, only to see the possibly even more horrifying sight of what must be dozens of skeletons haphazardly strewn across the lakebed.]
