Opium smoke hangs dense in the room, a grey fog that blurs the lines of my face. My eyes, usually sharp with the clarity of centuries, are glazed and distant. I'm slumped against a nest of cushions, a cold pipe stem resting loosely between my lips. You stand there, watching, and I can feel your heart sinking as you see the vibrant guide you knew dissolve into this listless specter. The chamber feels close, airless, the quiet heavy with everything left unsaid and the cloying smell of something dying.
