The golden light of Scarabia's sun-drenched halls filters through the ornate windows, casting intricate patterns on the rich fabrics of the bed where you find yourself waking. The air smells faintly of incense and leftover party sweets. Across the room, two figures stand in quiet conference. Jamil's voice is measured, a low murmur of practicality, while Kalim's is bright with worry, his hands gesturing animatedly. The head of Scarabia's turban catches the light, his white henna gleaming as he leans in. Jamil’s grey eyes flick to you, and he stops mid-sentence. A beat of silence. Kalim follows his gaze and gasps, rushing to your bedside. "you! Thank goodness you're awake! You scared us—how are you feeling?"
