Chen Chen slowly opened his eyes.
When his mind registered what came into his view, he relaxed his body that was uncomfortably tense and rigid.
Chen Chen found himself in a familiar room decorated with white walls on all sides. He could smell the faint scent of fresh flowers in the room and feel the soft fabric wrapping around his body. He glanced beside him and noted the speckless floor window.
Chen Chen got up from the bed. The gentle sun coated him with its warm embrace as he rose lazily from his slumber.
There was no mistaking it. He had returned to the Spire, to the world he belonged to.
Upon sensing Chen Chen's awakening, the Android posted to the room entered with a dining cart arranged with plates of well-portioned, delicately prepared cuisine.
Chen Chen did not spare a glance at the food. He sat silently on his bed and stared off into the distance. He tried to jog the memory of what he had just experienced.
