"Uh..." Buffy was obviously startled by the appearance of the stranger in the hospital. It took her a few moments of numb recollection to realize he was not a doctor but a patient like herself. It helped that he had an honest face.
"I was at home. Asleep."
Buffy visually searched her surroundings for signs of a clock or a calendar to detirmine how long she'd been out of it but the walls were mostly empty, save the tiny public television.
"I'm really not supposed to be here." Buffy protested quietly, certain she didn't want there conversation to be overheard until she knew what was going on.
