I wake up with a mind-blowing migraine and see Sophia and Henri's fretful stare, they are sitting next to me. I try to force myself up but Sophia holds me down—I think she’s telling me not to force it. I can’t make out what she is saying“Who did this to you, son?” I think I heard Henri say but before I could answer, my body gives out on me and my eyes close shut as I lose consciousness again“We should let him rest.

A slight headache and a sense of disorientation lingered, as if I had been asleep for a long time. As I looked around, I took in the sprawling compound. It was surrounded by stunning cherry blossom trees, their flowers a breathtaking sight – nearly pure white, with delicate pink hues near the stem. The trees transformed the compound into a serene oasis. A soft breeze rustled the leaves, creating a soothing background noise. The buildings resembled those found in schools, and my gaze returned to the woman standing before me. She was likely in her 40s, with an air of confidence and authority. Her dark hair was styled impeccably, and she wore a tailored dark grey blazer, paired with a high-length skirt and a crisp white blouse.
