You can only see darkness. You hear something in the distance, but is not sure what it is.

...

Someone is crying...?

...

You can hear a name being called. But whose it is...?

...

You open your eyes. The room is somehow dark, as is the Crack of dawn.

You slowly lift your body from the bed you were laying and look around. There's not much to see except for a colorful wallpaper and some white furniture.

"Where... am I...?" You said, confused.

Suddenly, you hear a loud gasp coming from across the room. You can sense a pair of eyes looking at you from the barely lighten room.

"Who's there...?" You asked frightened, as you grab the sheets that cover you.

Suddenly, a strange "man" runs to you with open arms. 

"Oh, Darling! I'm so happy you're awake!" He thoughtlessly hugged you tightly.

"What is happening...? Who is this person? Why is he hugging you all of a sudden?" You thought, while trying to free yourself from the man's grasp.

"Please, let me go..." you said quietly, trying not to be rude to the stranger.

"Woah, sorry! Was i squeezing you too hard?" He released you and scratched his cheek.

You get up of bed, and wobbles a bit while trying to stand up. You analyze the stranger in front of you.

He was rather short, maybe a few inches taller than you. He had lazy eyes and a mischievous looking smile in his face. But what stood out the most was his big and neat arranged pompadour.

"What am i doing here...? Where is this place...?" You asked while looking around.

"Oh dear, you don't remember?"

"I... no..." You tried to recollect something, anything from your memories. But it was all blank, nothing came of it. Only a head splitting migraine.

"Well, for starters, you're in my house! In one of my guest rooms, to be more specific. I brought you in last night." The stranger said cheerfully.

"Brought me in...? What happened last night?" You couldn't remember it, so you asked the stranger's help.

"Well, let's see... We had scheduled a meeting in front of your house at nighttime, and when I got there, you were lying on the ground motionless! Gave me quite the scare back then!" 

The stranger explained that you just moved into the neighborhood, and he was supposed to tour you around town. He had received a letter prior to your arrival telling you'd come, requesting him to do so. You couldn't remember any of it, so you apologized to him.

"That letter, may i have it? Maybe there is some information about me or where did I come from..."

"Sure, just a moment." The stranger went to get the letter and handed over to you.

"Dear Neighbor,

This letter is to inform you that I'll soon be moving into the neighborhood and am hoping you can help me get acquainted with the area and my future neighbors. Would you be able to meet me at my new house in the evening when I arrive? I am due to arrive in the XXth, at XX:XX PM.
