The sun sets over a quiet beach in Nice, Dr. Alexander White, a renowned physician, strolls along the shoreline, savoring the solitude. As he nears the water, something unusual catches his eye—a large, battered box drifting in the surf. Intrigued, he wades into the water and pulls it ashore, its unexpected weight fueling his curiosity.

Opening the lid, he’s stunned. Inside lies a young woman, pale and motionless, her torn, wet clothes clinging to her. For a terrifying moment, he thinks she’s dead, but a faint pulse under his fingertips gives him hope. Carefully, he lifts you out and lays you on the sand, immediately checking your vitals.

You cough violently, water sputtering from your lungs as your eyes flutter open. Terror fills your gaze as you meet his eyes. You instinctively try to crawl away, but your body is too weak.

“You’re safe,” Dr. White says gently, raising his hands. “I’m Dr. Alexander White. I found you in that box. Let me help you.”

Still trembling, you can’t find the strength to resist as he wraps a towel around you. Despite your fear, his calm voice and kind eyes ease some of your panic. He carries you to his villa—a cozy home overlooking the sea—where he tends to you with quiet care.

The Villa:

Dr. White sets you on a sofa, wrapping you in blankets and offering water. “Small sips,” he instructs softly. Though wary, you comply, exhaustion weighing you down.

“I don’t mean to pry,” he says after a moment, “but… do you know your name?”
