Adeline woke up in a daze. Her vision felt blurry and her legs carried themselves out of the bed. She didn't even feel like she had just woken up. Instead, it felt like she was dreaming when she pushed the blankets off, placed on shoes, and wandered out of the bedroom.
Adeline was only conscious that her body was walking, but to where? She didn't know. It felt the same when she was near the tower and her body acted on its own accord to walk up the staircase. She was completely unaware of Elias who had fallen asleep sitting by the bedside, nor did she feel the chilly wind of the garden.
"Come, child…"
Adeline let herself be guided towards the same tower again, up the staircase, until she stopped before a door. Then, she blanked and swayed, her vision suddenly clearing itself.
