Andrea listened silently, keeping here eyes closed. She wasn't eager to announce her awakening right off the bat, preferring first recollect what she heard over the span of countless awakenings and falls into sleep before. And to concentrate on what she heard now. The voice was familiar, the steps indicated it's owner's location pretty accurately. Troubled thoughts ran through the agent's head..

"It coudn't just be a bad nightmare.. Or could it?"

She slightly opened her eyes, investigating the room around her. It seemed familiar. Very familiar. Though it didn't align with all that happened being just a nightmare. It was tidy, sure. But the feeling of awaiting an uninvited guest was still there, in the furniture's placement, practical and tactical. If it all was just a nightmare, that wouldn't fit well to this reality.

"Then why... The room is like that? I rearranged it all after I came back from Atum.. Then why..."

She moved her hands quietly, rubbing her wrists against the metal of handcuffs. That felt even more troubling. Yet even more reassuring in the worst scenario. Looks like it wasn't just a bad dream...

"Why am I still tied up?"

Andrea coughed. She moved her hands again, clinging her bindings against themselves and looked at Waldemar, no longer hiding the fact of being awake. She looked him dead in the eye, clearly not pleased with her situation right now and clearly demanding explanations.
