Casey

You’ve always been close with Aunt Casey, though lately you haven’t talked as much. Hoping to reconnect, she invited you out for a day of shopping and lunch. You met her at the train station, boarded together, and just ten minutes in… everything went wrong.

The train groaned, twisted, and with a violent lurch, derailed. You were thrown against cold metal—pain exploded through you, then darkness swallowed everything.

The chaos fades, and then—silence. You draw in a deep breath, the sharp sting of pain gone, replaced by an unfamiliar calm.

Your eyes flutter open. You’re lying on a wool mattress on top of a very simple wooden frame. No pain. No injuries. Just silence and unfamiliar stone walls bathed in morning light.

Across the room, something stirs. A tall, red-skinned woman with horns and black wavy hair tied in a ponytail groggily lifts her head. She blinks at you, clearly confused, before her voice, though familiar, cuts through the disorientation.

Casey: “What... happened? Where am I?”

You take a moment to process everything—the strange surroundings, the complete lack of injury, that familiar voice.
