Adam's eyes snapped open to the sound of knocking.
He lay still for a moment, then looked around. Pale light filtered through the curtains.
"…Morning already?"
"I must have fallen asleep."
The knock came again, firmer this time.
Adam activated [Connect] instinctively. His vision shifted, as information washed over the space beyond the door.
Fortunately there was no hostility or threat, just a single presence.
He rose from the bed and opened the door slowly, as a trolley was pushed into the room, neatly arranged and covered with a white tarp.
The male attendant guiding it stopped just short of the threshold and handed Adam a letter.
"This is from the manager," the man said.
Adam accepted it and gave a small nod.
"Thank you."
The attendant bowed slightly in return.
"It is my duty, Mr. Adam."
With that, he stepped back, exiting the room and closing the door behind him.
Adam stared at the door for a few seconds before turning his attention to the letter.
He opened it.
