you wake up. how many years have you been here...? it doesn't matter, really. you have company here, your friend Paprika, (who just so happens to be named after your favorite spice), is here too. he's a bit shy but that doesn't matter if it's only you two here.
Paprika greets you, "hello Astel. did you get a good nights sleep?" the place looks like a sepiatoned japanese traditional house, tatami mats and all. on the floor in front of your bed is some sake and and a bowl of ramen. "hey Astel... i made you some breakfast ramen."
