EMERY
I let out a sigh as I wake up, knowing immediately where I am. It's not exactly the same place as last time, but it's similar enough for me to recognise it immediately. I remember the lack of light and the much smaller-than-necessary room, but most of all, those cameras and speakers hanging from the top of the room, watching and listening. It's torture to find myself here. It's like I've gone back two years, and nothing has changed. Everything remains the same, as if this place has frozen in place, waiting for me to return.
I run my hands over my face and groan.
"Emery?" comes a voice close to me. I look up immediately and see a shadow I identify directly.
"Conan?"
"Oh, my God!" he exclaims as he jumps to his feet. "Oh, my God, it's you! It's really you!"
