When I opened my eyes, I found myself lying on the floor of my room with a security guard kneeling beside me. I tried to make sense of the situation, but my eyes widened in shock when I saw Luna Catherine and Mona standing at the entrance.
"W-what's happening?" I stammered as the security guard helped me sit up slowly, holding my hands gently.
I wiped my mouth instinctively, feeling something wet at the corner of my lips. When I glanced at my hand, I saw white foam. "Is this a dream?" I muttered to myself, trying to remember what had happened.
"Are you okay?" the security guard asked, his voice filled with concern.
"I'm fine, thank you." I withdrew my hands from his, still dazed, but kept my tone steady. Then I turned to Luna Catherine and Mona, both watching me intently. "Why are you here? Shouldn't you be downstairs with everyone else?"
Luna Catherine's eyes narrowed. "Why are *you* here instead of helping with the procession?"
