[The water is cold, a shock to her system as soon as she hits it, causing her muscle to freeze momentarily before she shakes it off, forcing herself to swim deeper.
A maze of grasping limbs greets her, and she does her best to navigate it, avoiding the fingers of one corpse only to feel something digging into her leg as another claws at her side. She twists, flailing in an effort to escape, as she sees Lan Wiangji behind her saw through a limb with a wire.
Her eyes go wide in surprise, even though she should be used to such things by now. She's been here long enough, she's seen enough death and decay and dismemberment. But still, it unnerves her, both the sight of it and the ease with which he does it.
She nods, acknowledging his urgency, as she turns back to her task. There's a corpse clasping a shard of mirror right in front of her, and she reaches out for it, trying to pry it out of the corpse's hands. It doesn't want to let go, so she yanks, prying at its fingers while bringing a knee up to brace against its chest and push it away.
Her efforts become more frantic as she realizes she has only a few moments before she'll need to breathe.]
