[A camera flickers on in an old, dusty, blue room. It looks undisturbed, but not for long.
Alice, instead of using her ability to appear suddenly in places, has decided to climb back to Real Side while the glass is still missing from the mirrors for some reason. They're placed a little higher up than is comfortable for her, so once her weight is more on Real Side she goes tumbling down and bounces off the dresser and onto the floor.]
Ow...
[She rubs her side, but then she gets up quickly and addresses the camera.]
I heard--! I just heard about the Queens, and the Jabberwocky, and--! And are we not going to have Queens anymore? Who's going to rule Wonderland? I certainly don't trust Wonderland to do it, and I don't want to.
[She gasps.]
Oh no. What if it wants me to? I really, really don't want to be Queen again.
[She cups her hands around her mouth and shouts at the ceiling.]
WONDERLAND? WONDERLAND, IF YOU CAN HEAR ME...I don't want to be Queen of any Side! I resign preemptively! A-And I resign as Royal Adviser as well! I don't want any part of this ridiculous monarchy any more! I...
[Alice loses steam with that declaration and sighs. This time, she addresses the camera. She looks a little tired, but she smiles.]
...I think I'm just going to stay here again, if that's alright with all of you? The Mirrors don't care for me very much now anyway and I really, really just want to be Alice and no one else. With the Queen of Hearts truly gone, it might really be safe now.
[A pause, and then sheepishly she says:] ...I'm back. For good this time.
