Go with him
You're not paying much attention to the surroundings, since you're
still aching from the rat attacks. However, you soon begin to notice
something strange. Lavender sky... with pale green water and a sandy
beach... What happened to the alley?
The youth lets go of your hand, and smiles apologetically.
"You're on your own from here. Tell you what, though... Duck in
the water a bit. You'll heal faster."
What do you do?
Why not? There really isn't anything else for you to do, and you're
pretty glad that someone knows what's going on. He takes your hand,
and you begin walking.
