Five digits form a claw above you, backlit to create an image of utter terror. It descends with impossible speed, way too fast for something so vast, but you remain steady as it shoots off to your left, hooking around a truck-sized candy bar.
The rustle of the wrapper is creepy, and you watch the muscles of the little girl's hand clench tight before effortlessly hefting the weight up into the sky. You watch open-mouthed, utterly in awe of the spectacle. Hopefully there won't be too many distractions like that during your journey, so you'd better make the most of this experience while you can.
The girl leaves the bag open, so you are not left in total darkness. Settling back, you begin to relax.
Your world is shattered by noise suddenly:
"That it, dear? Well then, let's put your bag out of the way."
The booming voice can only belong to the girl's mother, and the ground around you shifts as - presumably - she picks it up.
Your teddy bear shelter topples as the bag is hefted at an awkward angle, and a chaotic jumble ensues. The woman throws the bag somewhere out of reach, and as you tumble towards the opening you wonder exactly where that is.
