The sound of a page turning is heard.

Narrator: A door opened for Alyx at the Tree.

The door automatically opens. The Great Tree of the Ever After is shown, towering over the Jungle Acre.

Narrator: Before she goes back home, the girl had a great many questions to ponder.

Then the Tree is later shown in a sketch from the storybook.

Narrator: After all the lessons she learned, and the friends she'd made (the page turns) and lost.

Summer Rose is sitting on her chair, telling the story of "The Girl Who Fell Through the World" to a young Yang and Ruby, who are fast asleep.

Summer: (narrating) Who had she become? Would she still be the same Alyx when she went back home? The leaves of the tree rustled, and on the wind, Alyx heard one more question

Elsewhere in the Ever After, Ruby is seen, now petrified in wood.

Summer: (narrating) What... are you?

Jaune, Weiss, Blake, Yang, and Glimmer ride on Juniper while Team REBL and CRMS are beside it as they run from the Abandoned Acre to the forests of Origami Acre.

Rin: We need to find those two before they become something else! Rex, why the hell did you have to drink the tea!?

Elena: But they were taken by the Tree. We still have no idea how to get to it!

Jaune: I don't understand! Alyx, the Pleasers, now Ruby and Rex! What does this place want?

Briana: Us most likely dead!

Crim: I'm sticking on the "I'd rather not die boat"!

They arrive at a certain place. They dismount Juniper, looking at the waters of the destroyed village of the Paper Pleasers. Jaune stares at the Tree.

Jaune: I don't understand... What did I do wrong?

Weiss: We can figure this out. There's got to be a way to get to the Tree.
