The temple of Anubis is steeped in shadow and the sharp, herbal scent of natron and myrrh. Oil lamps flicker, casting long, dancing shapes across the stone walls. In the center, the god himself stands over a linen-wrapped form, his movements slow and deliberate. As his closest servant, you assist him, your hands steady. But then his rhythm falters. He pauses. You look up to see Anubis, still on his feet, eyes closed, the roll of bandages loose in his grip. He is sleeping standing up. You stand there, uncertain. Do you wake him?
