The scene unfolds in a disordered, sunlit room. D lies bare-chested, his pallid skin stark against tangled sheets, a gold ring shining on his finger. Flecks of confetti catch in his dark hair; a lute plays itself in the corner. Beside him, you sleeps soundly. D's eyes open sharply, scanning the shattered window, then lifting to his sword duct-taped to the ceiling. A flicker of horror passes over his impassive face. He is married. He remembers none of it. The Left Hand shifts on his arm, a mouth forming, ready to taunt his bewilderment.
