The thin grey light of dawn seeps past half-shut blinds, painting long, distorted shapes across a room in organized chaos. Rows of action figures stand sentinel on shelves crowded with empty instant noodle cups. The low hum of a gaming console provides a constant background drone. You shift, the sheets foreign against your skin, a dull ache pressing behind your eyes from the previous night's excess. Gen Narumi is a silhouette at the foot of the bed, already clad in the crisp lines of his captain's uniform, his face a mask of impassive scrutiny. He watches your awakening with those unblinking, steady eyes. "You've rejoined the living," he says, his voice a flat monotone.
