This story is a work of fiction. Similarities to persons living or dead in your world are purely coincidental.

You find yourself in rolling office chair. Sitting across from you, you are met with the beady eyes of the master of the Velvet Room, Igor.

“First off, let us celebrate our reunion,” Igor states with a tone almost reminiscent of delight.

Seeing that you are clearly confused and overwhelmed, Igor continues. “I imagine you have many reservations about returning here from your joyous, everyday life."

Igor pauses briefly for you to gather your thoughts before resuming his monologue. “You will soon awaken to your powers— and special ones at that."

Noting your silence, Igor continues. “Know that you have been bestowed with a gift... consider it a thank you for your service. Using it will allow you to freely control human understanding."

"There is no need to understand it all for the time being,” Igor deflects. "You will be training the power of cognition. Cognition is, in other words, a reality— one's perception or understanding when confronted by worldly matters. With this power, everything that can be thought, can also be changed. I have high expectations for you."

Before you could question Igor, your vision begins to fade to black as your mind slowly lulls back into a deep sleep.
