When Zoemi opened his eyes, he was already in the master bedroom of the Banemor mansion – not just the bedroom, but the king-sized bed too.
He didn't realize it, but at some point, he must have lost consciousness, because the last thing he remembered was his corpse puppet sentinels grabbing his arms and pulling him into the darkness.

Actually, even taking the feeling of exhaustion into consideration, this was the best he felt in a while.
*knock* *knock*
