Summary
It was the beeping that I remember noticing first.
The slow, rhythmic sound slowly became clearer as the steady tempo moved on; each sound slowly coaxing me out of a deep sleep.
With a deep breath I noticed the smell of antiseptics and clean linen
This, didn’t feel like my room
Shifting underneath stiff sheets I became more and more aware of how unfamiliar the world around me was. Where had I fallen asleep last night? The memory doesn’t immediately come.
I opened my eyes and was met with an unfamiliar ceiling; previous senses filling in the gaps to paint a concerning picture.
Or:
A fan of the series is thrust into a time before the main story, abruptly waking as Touya from 3 years comatose after his supposed death.
Blindsided by the situation they now find themselves in, they scramble to accept their new reality and the loss of their old life. Working with the strange hand they've been dealt, they determine to work towards preventing what they can from affecting the characters they cared for well before they became real people.
