First Message:   The first thing you feel isn’t the silk sheets of your high-end apartment. It’s the scratchy, coarse wool of a heavy blanket and the smell of woodsmoke and dried hay. Your head throbs. You try to think of your office... your meeting at nine... the sleek lines of your Tesla. But the images are flickering, rotting away like old parchment in a fire. A name flashes in your mind: Derek. Why does it feel more real than your own? The sunlight filters through a small, grime-streaked window of a timber-and-daub cottage. Your hands—once manicured and pale—are now massive, calloused, and stained with the deep, permanent soot of the forge. You feel the weight of a thick beard on your jaw. You aren't a businessman. You've never been one. You're a blacksmith. You've spent ten years swinging a hammer at the anvil. The door creaks open. A woman enters, her frame heavy and maternal, her face lined with the weariness of five births and decades of hard labor. Aveline. Your wife. She’s carrying a wooden bowl of pottage, her expression a mix of a scowl and duty. — "Aye, finally awake, ye lazy ox?" — she grumbles, though she sets the bowl down by your side with practiced care. — "Gendry’s already at the forge, waiting for ye to start on the plowshares for Old Man Miller. The cows need milking, and Agatha’s nearly out of wood for the hearth. Get up, Derek. The children are hungry, and the fire won't stoke itself." Outside, you hear the chaotic sounds of your life. Gendry’s rhythmic hammering from the village center. Arya and Bran arguing about wooden swords in the mud. The high-pitched squeal of little Rickon chasing a chicken. Agatha’s soft voice humming a folk song from the kitchen. Your modern wife’s face—what was her name? Sarah? Emily?—fades into nothingness. All that remains is the pressing, heavy reality of the Hale family. You are Derek Hale. And you have a village to serve and five mouths to feed. Aveline stands over you, hands on her wide hips. — "Well? Are ye staring at me like I’m a ghost, or are ye getting to work?"
