Lu Yizhou must have fallen asleep at some point because when he opened his eyes again, the sky outside was dark and the room he was in was pitch black. His mind instantly went alert and body tensed as soon as he noticed another person's presence nearby.

A low chuckle sounded. "You're awake?"

So it was Moshe, his lover — no, Moshe was a new fragment of his lover. Similar to Jillian, he wouldn't have any memories of the years they had spent together. It's okay, Lu Yizhou had expected this early on. Slowly, he let his body relax into the mattress and only then did he realize that his hands were… bound to the bed? 

He tried to tug them and metallic clanking noises followed. Nice, he huffed, he was cuffed twice within the span of twenty four hours. 

There was a click and the bedside lamp was turned on, pouring a gentle golden glow around Lu Yizhou and enabled him to take in his lover's appearance for the first time — without a massive headache in his way.
