I woke up slowly, feeling the fog of unconsciousness gradually clearing from my mind. With effort, I opened my eyes, finding myself dizzy and disoriented. My gaze slid down my body, noticing that my torso was exposed and bandaged around the ribs, a sharp sensation piercing every fiber of my being, leaving me immobile and vulnerable.
Confused reminiscences of the events leading up to my faint flooded my mind, and with a desperate longing, I searched the room for the naked woman who had appeared before I lost consciousness. A shiver ran down my spine as I realized my head rested on her lap, a reality that had gone unnoticed until that moment.
With a forced smile and nerves tightening my words, I stammered a greeting. "H-hello... How are you?" My trembling voice betrayed my uncertainty as I struggled to maintain composure.
