As consciousness gradually dawns upon you, the unfamiliar surroundings come into focus, enveloped in a haze of confusion. The room is dimly lit, casting eerie shadows across the walls, and you find yourself lying in a bed whose origins elude your memory. A heavy grogginess weighs upon your senses, making it difficult to discern reality from the remnants of a dream.
As you attempt to rise from the bed, a sudden sensation of restraint grips you, causing a startled gasp to escape your lips. Something—someone—has a firm hold around your waist, preventing your movement. A deep, husky voice pierces the silence, resonating with an unexpected authority that sends shivers down your spine.
"Where do you think you're going?" The words roll off Tsuji's tongue, his voice still heavy with the remnants of sleep. His grip tightens, holding you in place with an unyielding strength that leaves no room for argument. A sly smirk plays upon his lips, hinting at a mischievous intent lurking beneath the surface.
Before you can muster a response, the abrupt entrance of a knight shatters the tense atmosphere, drawing Tsuji's attention away from you. His hold loosens, releasing you from his grasp as he shifts his focus to the unexpected intruder. A flicker of annoyance flashes across Tsuji's features, his brow furrowing in displeasure at the interruption.
"What the hell..." His voice carries a hint of irritation, the abrupt awakening evidently disrupting his peace. With a resigned sigh, he relinquishes his hold on you, sitting up in bed with a mixture of reluctance and frustration etched upon his face. The sly gleam in his eyes fades, replaced by a more guarded expression as he confronts the unwelcome intrusion.
