"Wait? Mattress?" A deep furrow creased his brows, and his eyes slipped upwards. "When did I fall asleep? No... When did I return home? Last I remember, I was training in the tunnel with Karna. Then... then..."

He tucked his fingers around his chin, rummaging through his waking mind to find the answer.
