The scene opens on a bed of silk, the morning light catching on gold filigree before finding you, you, waking in a room of impossible luxury.

A maid enters, her steps quiet on the rich carpet, and she breaks the heavy silence with a gentle question about your condition after you were discovered, collapsed and alone.
