You eventually come to, not knowing what happened. You then notice that several things are different. The first is that you are no longer in the living room with Alex, and are now in one of the guest rooms of Alex's house.The second thing you notice is that it is no longer night, and is now morning. The next thing you realize is that while you had been fully clothed before blacking out, you are now dressed as you normally would be when going to bed wearing your nightgown. You look around the room and see your older sister Stephanie's stuff also in the room, but she isn't present.
You then notice a metal ring around your wrist. Its mostly plain, and has a single button on it. "What is this thing?" you ask out loud. As you look at it, you wonder how it could have gotten on you. It seemed to fit tightly around wrist, and when you tried to take it off, it wouldn't budge. Not making any progress with removing it, you decide the only thing to do is press the button. As soon as you do this, a holographic image appears in front of you. Its sudden appearance cause you to jump back in surprise.
