Sun was dreaming.

The island was moving. Out of the earth came thick metal pillars, she was surrounded. Sun opened her mouth to scream, but it choked in her throat. She couldn't breathe, she couldn't breathe, she couldn't breathe. The tops of the pillars had bright red lights, the spotlights shone down on her. It hurt her eyes, Sun fell to her knees. A man who could not walk strode to the center, right in front of her. The gun in his hand tasted like metal in her mouth, and Sun felt dizzy.

Jin appeared. He ran to her, and stepped in front as the gun was fired. Jin fell down.

From his heart grew a red, red rose.

And when Sun awoke, she realized she was alone.
