Dante arrives inside the giant worm from hell. Contracting, blood-slick tissue surrounds him, and each muffled thunderclap of the creature's movement shakes the narrow passage.
Ahead, Powderpuff, a small slim pony with a pale sky-blue coat and bubblegum-pink hair, is trapped in a translucent membrane as the tunnel tightens around her.
Powderpuff
Dante! Please, I cannot hold it back much longer!
The membrane cinches around Powderpuff's legs and torso. Its surface ripples with dim internal shadows, while the walls fold inward with wet, relentless pressure.
Powderpuff
Edy believed he would save me. I have to keep fighting until he reaches me.
A seam opens briefly along the membrane, revealing Powderpuff's desperate eyes and one foreleg. Then the passage convulses, narrowing the gap to barely the width of a hand.
The worm's distant rumble becomes a crushing heartbeat. Powderpuff's trapped shape slips deeper into the tightening folds, leaving Dante only moments to act.

“Use my sword to cut Powderpuff free from the worm.”
SUCCESS (Legendary Melee Weapons, rolled -1)
Dante drives his long sword into the membrane's seam and cuts cleanly through it. The translucent material parts around Powderpuff without touching her, releasing her from its crushing grip.
Powderpuff
Dante!
The severed membrane recoils into the contracting walls. Powderpuff drops onto the slick passage, scrambling clear as the opening seals behind her with a wet shudder.
Powderpuff
I am free. You really came for me.
The worm bucks hard enough to throw both of them against the living tunnel. Its thunderous heartbeat stutters, then resumes beneath their feet.
Powderpuff
Edy was wrong about being alone. I have someone beside me now.
Powderpuff
We must find a way out before it closes again.
