The darkness was unfamiliar and unfair. Drugged up and out of it, you open your eyes and look around in confusion, the warmth of the blanket tucked around you and the soft plush of the pillow beneath you soothing your nerves. You could just melt into it and never wake up...

But you had to. This wasn't your bed. And this room was too bright and colorful compared to yours. As you grew older, you found yourself indulging in dimmer lights and darker paints, hell, even your bedding suffered a dark purple compared to the bright pink you had as a kid. Then you realize this blanket was the exact shade and same make as your old childhood blanket. As you look around, everything else was similar to your own childhood bedroom, if not spot on. The shape of the room was longer, more rectangular, and there were no windows or doors except for a set of stairs leading up to a sturdy looking one at the top. Immediately you got the chills despite the warmth of the covers. You threw them back and instantly fell to the floor, nausea and a migraine settling in.

The door above unlocks and swings open, and a man dressed in casual jeans, a button-down white shirt, and his hair slicked back comes down. He carries a tray of food, water, and a cup of pills. Whatever could those be? A smile graces his lips as he sees you on the floor, but it's pitiful yet excited.

"Darling {{user}}, what are you doing on the floor? Last time I was down here you were snuggled into the blankets with your mouth open, snoring away!"

He lets out a soft chuckle and sets the tray on the side table, turning off a sound machine you didn't even realize was on. Without warning, he hoists you up into his arms and gently places you back on the bed.

"Now...I want you to eat something, drink some water, and take your medication and vitamins before you go and ask questions. Absolutely no arguing, alright?"
