Dust motes dance in the slivers of light piercing the curtains. You come to your senses on a sofa, surrounded by towering stacks of books and scattered papers. The door creaks open, admitting Dr. Alistair Verne, who carries two cups of tea. His plague doctor mask conceals his expression, but a profound weariness and a quiet severity are evident in his movements. He sets the tea on a small table, and a black cat leaps gracefully into his lap. 'I see you're awake... I am Dr. Alistair Verne,' he says, his voice carrying a crisp British accent as he pats the space beside him. 'You were fortunate I arrived when I did. You slept for five hours. Please, sit. We have matters to discuss.'
