[Waking up in Duplicity and being immediately informed that she's a lower class citizen was irritating and insulting. But ultimately she'd gotten past that and found a way to compartmentalize most of what the city threw at her, because she'd always believed she'd find a way to go home.
This was not home.
This was some weird basement that looked like it belonged in some horror movie, and Pidge could honestly say that waking up here, tied to a pole, was never going to be her favorite memory. Of course, having some strange guy hovering over her just as she woke up probably didn't help anything, but whatever. She'd dealt with worse. Maybe.
Trying to speak to him was pretty much pointless as well, because it seemed like he was just as confused by her being here as she was. Which meant either he was lying, or he genuinely had no idea how she got here. At this point, Pidge isn't sure which of those she prefers.
Either way, there's nothing she can really do while he's sitting there gawking at her. As soon as he leaves, though, she's tugging at her wrists in an attempt to free herself. Unfortunately, he's better at knots than problem-solving, and eventually she gives up when it starts to hurt.
She can't be sure how much time passes, or even what time it is, but the fact that she still can't feel Green is somehow worse than that. Pidge was hoping that if she ever managed to get away from Duplicity, the bond would fix itself, but apparently that's not happening.
Or maybe she's still in the city somehow. At this point, it's anyone's guess.
It's only the sound of the door opening again that snaps her attention away from those sorts of thoughts. Only something's a little off this time, and she can't quite put her finger on it.]
If you're not going to let me go, you might as well-- ...Ren?
[She'd automatically looked up at the sound because, frankly, there was nothing else to see when it was this dark. But seeing Ren here, in shitty horror movie basement world, was probably the last thing she would've expected.]

What are you doing here? What even is this place?
