One moment, you're going about your business, the next, you're falling backward into a space so unlike Trench's usual Gothic weirdness, its plainness and emptiness look alarming by contrast.
Something else drops into this weird space, a dark form that lands gracefully, on its feet like a large, black feline, dropping into a crouch before straightening up, revealing himself as a tall male humanoid, straightening up and settling the skirts of his long leather coat as he glances about him. "Where in hell is this place? Some manner of maintenance hall, or this world's hell?"
Perhaps you're lying dazed and injured on the grotty floor when someone leans into your field of view. "So, you quite literally fell into this place as well. Are you injured in any way? sensing any pain?" He holds up a black leather satchel. "It might be able to help with that. At least I fell in here with the medical necessary."
If you've wandered long enough, one might come upon weird graffiti on the walls: IT CAN SEE YOU., written in a neat, calligraphic hand in what resembles reddish-green ink. One can hope someone used ink.
At another interval, someone has used the same strange hopefully-ink to draw an arrow pointing in one direction. Another, weirder hand has written STAY STILL. which the same neat hand has crossed out and added "KEEP MOVING, IDIOT."
If you fail to heed the warnings, unholy wheezing billows behind you. Before you can turn, something dark darts toward you from the side. "Can you read? Keep moving: there's a less painful way out."
