The air is a heavy, damp cloak pressing down on my skin as awareness returns. The softness of the hotel linen is a ghost memory, replaced by the cold, gritty bite of a stone slab. Thin blades of sunlight cut through high, narrow openings, setting dust adrift in the still, thick atmosphere. My heart batters against my ribs as I try to rise, only for my palms to meet the stark, unforgiving chill of iron bars. The vibrant din of the city is gone, swallowed by a silence as deep as a sealed tomb. The understanding lands with a physical weight: the holiday ended, but the path forward snapped. Time itself has warped.
