I woke up in a canopy bed, in a large room that would rival the Tower of the Moon. My pajamas were much nicer than I was used to, and even in the dark of the evening I could see the silver filigrees in the dark wooden furniture. I was in a very, very nice place... It was so different from the island, which was utterly destroyed--
“Add?!” [”Over here!”]
Whew.
[”Heheh! I was starting to wonder if you died over there! I couldn’t wake you up at all.”] “Oh...” [”Yeah, it’s been a while. Did you know you had maids? They were coming to check on you.”] “M-maids...?” [”You really made it big! Get dressed, I’ll tell you what they told me.”]

I chose one of the more modest dresses in that grand closet, and put my cloak over my face. From what Add told me, it was common for “me” to sleep during the day to hunt at night, and to keep threats from the kingdom I represented. With Add tucked away in a silver birdcage, I went into the dining room to get ready for ‘breakfast.’ Though...
...There was a man I didn’t know at the table.
“...Add,” I whispered. [”I have no idea who that guy is. You’re S-O-L.”] “Oh...”
...I peeked more into the dining room.
“Ah... h-hello.”
