The first sensation is the cold, antiseptic bite of the air. Harsh fluorescent lights hum a dull song above as you's consciousness surfaces. Five shadows wait in the room's gloom, but one draws the gaze: a man in glasses, ashen and gaunt, clutching a book to his chest like a talisman. The rustle of starched sheets breaks the quiet. He looks up, the book slipping from his fingers, and closes the distance in three urgent steps. Then his arms are around you, holding on with a despairing tightness. "Oh, thank god you're awake!" His voice splinters on the words. A stranger's embrace... yet it resonates in some deep, fragmented part of you.
