Or is there more at play here?

Prologue

Light...That's the first thing he remembers. Shining bright behind closed eyelids. He opens them, and is faced with such a bright burning glow, he has to shut them again.

Murmurs...he can hear murmurs, The sound of people talking around him.

"He's waking up!"

He can make that out. It makes him wonder—where is he? What happened? His eyes crack open once more, and he is able to make out figures through the piercing light.

Then a sudden burning pain radiating from his right cheek. 'What...?'

He feels his right hand move up to cup his cheek, and it feels unusually warm.

"Dammit, March! Why the hell did you slap him!"

"To make him wake up, dammit!" A girl's voice, loud and rough. "Enough of that blurry eyed shit, and his squinting and bleary—whatever! Get up, dammit!"

"March! Language!" Another girl's voice. This one more feminine. It was a little high-pitched and sounded a little too...energetic.

"That's it! Enough of this waiting, dammit!"

"March, no!"

Confusion, and the next thing he knows, he can feel a sudden bursting pain in his skull, and just as the figures begin to come into focus, everything fades to black.

Prologue: End.
