AHSAAS’S POV:

The first thing I became aware of was warmth.

A deep, comforting warmth that seemed to surround me from every direction.

For several long moments, I remained half-asleep, cocooned beneath the soft blanket, my mind floating somewhere between dreams and reality. The morning sunlight filtered through the sheer curtains, painting pale golden patterns across the walls of my room. Somewhere outside, birds chirped lazily from the trees in the garden, and the faint rustling of leaves drifted in through the slightly open balcony door.

Everything felt peaceful.

Safe.
