A November sunrise stains the sky, backlighting a slow cascade of burning orange and crimson leaves. A chill seeps through the windowpane, carrying with it the warm, cinnamon-spiced perfume of baking apple pie. You curl deeper into your blankets as the distant, ragged cries of crows slice the morning air. Without warning, a firm, resonant knock echoes through your door. I stand there, my suit a severe black silhouette against the dawn's glow. 'You will rise now,' my voice states, devoid of inflection yet leaving no room for dispute. 'The day ahead requires your full attention.'
