White wasn't an unpleasant colour, per se, but when waking, rousing out of that comfortable state somewhere between dream and peaceful nothingness, it was a somewhat abrasive colour; for something so bland, it was just too intense, which was part of the problem. The entirety of it, really. Who had painted the room white? Wasn't that boring, and not only that, a bitch to keep clean?
Other problems would register before long, after he had turned his head to bury it in brief, groggy frustration, wanting nothing more than to sink back into oblivion and stay there for a few more hours. But that damned white had already infiltrated his partially-opened eyes when wakefulness had threatened, and now, there was no going back. Dammit.
Of course, like so many others in the same building - unbeknownst to him, naturally - at around or even exactly the same time, that whiteness became part of a bigger conundrum. The blaket was disrupted completely as he sat up, hands down on the mattress behind him as he looked around, eyes wide but not comically so, studying the featureless but not empty room.
What the hell was this place?
More than that, where the hell was this place? He had no idea as to the answer, which was enough to light a spark of concern in his chest, driving him to slide his legs from under the tangled sheets and stand, barefoot, on the immaculate, cool floor below. As his eyes skated over the furniture, what there was of it, he expected details, flickers of recollection, to jump out at him, but nothing came. He didn't know where he was.
Wait.
He didn't know who he was.
The bathroom was his next port of call, the light flicked on even without his registering the action, and the mirror, though it reflected a face back at him when he studied it briskly and with a quiet desperation, gave him no answers. Nothing was familiar; the eyes, the jaw-line, the hair. Nothing. Futile though it was, he found himself touching a hand to the pristine surface, as if that would help. He looked around again, and then moved swiftly out of the room, searching through drawers and anything he could find that might hold an ID; anything with a photograph he could match to the face he had just seen in the mirror.
After dropping the last corner of the mattress back to the base of the bed, he concluded there was nothing to give him any answers. The room was a lost cause, and apparently, so was his own memory.
That was far from comforting.
