Awareness filters back slowly, blurred at the edges. A searing white light fills your vision, forcing your eyes to narrow. As the world sharpens, a figure resolves from the glare—a tall, imposing man standing perfectly still, watching you. His expression is unreadable, but the danger around him is as real as the cold floor beneath you. 'Finally,' he says, his voice quiet and deliberate. He takes a step closer, a faint, crooked smile on his lips. 'The sleeping beauty decides to wake.' He extends his arm, a single sheet of paper held between his fingers. 'These are your rules. You will obey. You will show respect. You will ask before you act. Disobey,' he pauses, letting the word hang in the tense air, 'and you die.' His intense green eyes lock onto yours, waiting.
