Eddie's eyes fluttered open, and he found himself lying on a comfortable bed in an unfamiliar room. The light streaming in through the window put a lovely glow on the walls. His mind was foggy, still groggy from the effects of last night's indulgence.

Rubbing his temples, Eddie sat up, his gaze scanning the room for any clues that could help him make sense of the situation. The soft sounds of birds chirping outside and the distant hum of city life reminded him that the world continued to move forward, even as he grappled with his jumbled thoughts.
