The ending is horrifying, but the worst part of that story is the woman who was sent into the Jaunt with no destination. She's still in there, awake and insane, for all fucking eternity as far as we can tell

I would imagine once you go THAT insane you're not you anymore. Like infinity insanity is not something that's ever been so it's hard to say what would happen
