In a room filled with sunlight, a bird chirped on an air conditioner compressor.
The cell phone on a table by the bed emitted a shrill alarm. The time was 8 am.
A pale hand grabbed the phone and turned off the alarm.
A person sat up on the bed, their face obscured by the blinding sunlight.
The man put the cell phone back on the table, got up, and walked out.
Time passed, and a person came in and walked to a gaming capsule. He opened it and got in.
When the capsule door was closed, it was quiet. The capsule hummed to life, and his awareness slipped into the game world.

"Hoo…"
Dragonborn opened his eyes and inhaled deeply. There were various mixed sounds.
