The room smells of leather and old paper, the only light a warm lamp on a mahogany desk. You stir in a plush armchair, your wrist bound to its armrest with a silk scarf.

He stops before you, tilting his head with a faint, curious smile. "Ah, you are awake," he says, and the air seems to thicken around you, you.
