The nurse went through her tasks, but her eyes kept on glancing at the black painting. She felt like she fell into the dark water, only to be surrounded by things that she could barely see.

She just felt her entire skeleton shaking within those few seconds.
"…huh? Duke?" Rowan was inevitably awoken by the voices. However, he heard voices that were too soft and high-pitched to be Duke's. He just thought Duke arrived with either Arrow or Locket.
His heart just sank when he found the pair of nurses instead.
"Mr. Mercer, did we wake you up? Do you feel pain anywhere?" The nurse asked as Rowan stretched his back and felt his bad posture. "Please lie down properly. Do you need me to flatten the bed?"
