It was a disorienting awakening. He woke to a room, his room, steeped in a darkness that seemed somehow less than (more than?) natural. Something had woken him, but whatever it had been it was beyond his senses now. The room seemed empty…too empty. He struggled to sit up in bed, blinking as he waited in vain for his eyes to adjust. Dangling his hand off the side of the bed revealed a marked absence of warm fur, the source of the room's abnormal emptiness.

"…Sigi?" It was softer than he intended, hesitant, only a few degrees short of (fearful) worried. He wrinkled his nose at his own foolishness and sat up straight. "Sigi, hier!"

The command reverberated strangely in the room, a room that suddenly sounded much larger than it was or could be. There was no answer, no jangling of tags or questioning whuff. Heartbeat quickening, Edgeworth leaned back against the headboard and waited.
