Elfangor groaned, the sound vibrated in his throat and woke him up. He blinked and looked around, confused for a moment as his human eyes focused on the room around him. The bright lights in the room mixed horribly with his already foggy vision.

"Mr Reed!" called a cheerful female voice. He turned his head and looked at the nurse wearing a Landel's uniform. He sat up slowly and touched his chest, looking down at the gray shirt he wore. The yellow smile face looked back up at him. "Do you know where you are?" This was all horribly familiar. He felt disoriented and groggy.

"Lan...Laaaaandeeel'sss" He said the word slowly, feeling the letters with his tongue. It was a curious sensation. He should have been used to it. He tried to remember yesterday and found a great blackness in his memory. He was remembered being in the hospital after his death but time had passed and he had no idea what had happened to him. It was an uncomfortable situation to be in. He knew there had been a passage of time but not how much. His mind scrambled to pick up the broken pieces of his memories, but he found something. He still couldn't sync up with the world's rotation and had no idea what day it was.

"I'm so glad to hear that Mr. Reed. You've been catatonic for a while. It's good to have you back."

"Catatonic?" he asked, getting a hold of his voice. "Reed. Excuse me, I may be wrong but weren't you calling me Applegate before?" He was sure the name they assigned him was a different one. He was getting confused over what games this place was playing with him.

"Don't be silly," she said cheerfully, grabbing his arm to help him up. "You're name is Reed. And if you hurry up you can spend some time outside, you'd like that wouldn't you?"

He found himself nodding, a human gesture, before he could form words. This room suddenly felt to be suffocating him. "Yes please," he said, getting up on two shaky legs. He allowed her to insist he use a wheelchair as long as it got him outside.
