As Nora's world went black, she felt herself being pulled through a vortex of colors and sounds. She was disoriented and confused, with no idea where she was or what was happening to her.
When she finally came to, Nora found herself in a strange, futuristic laboratory. She was lying on a metal table, surrounded by machines and equipment that she didn't recognize.
As she struggled to sit up, Nora saw a figure standing in the corner of the room. It was the man who had kidnapped her, and he was watching her with a cold, calculating gaze.
"Welcome back, Nora," he said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "I see you're feeling a bit...disoriented."
Nora's eyes narrowed as she looked at the man. "Who are you?" she demanded. "And what do you want from me?"
The man smiled, his eyes glinting with amusement. "My name is Dr. Lee," he said. "And I'm here to help you unlock the secrets of your mind."
