[Role requirement,] Echo warns. [Sanity Level: 97%]
Maybe I can ignore it. I mean, it’s just an obnoxious, constant pressure in my head. An itch that’s getting worse and worse the more I don’t scratch it. A mental white noise that’s progressively hissing out all other thoughts.

I jolt awake. It’s night, but nothing around me feels familiar. There’re books along the wall, and wood beams in the ceiling, and I’m on a desk filled with candles and ink and broken glass, and—
—And I’m seeing all these things at once.

Shit. I scarf down the last lump of half-frozen burrito, and it slides down my throat in a spiteful ball of cold rice and processed cheese. At least the next scene involves a lot of grimacing. I toss the wrapper away, and it bounces off the rim of the trashcan.
So, it’s going to be one of those days, huh?
