This time it doesn't give the sudden reprieve and freedom of fresh air — nor is there really time to go check out the winged animals they'd seen take to the sky earlier.

So either they've found and scooped up the people who awoke there or... What? Quiet shrine should mean, logically, that there was nothing left around.
