I wake up after falling asleep. I feel sluggish and sleepy and I can't think. As soon as I wake up, a man's voice echoes through the room, Oh, you're awake. I thought you would still be sleeping. Would you tell me your name, please? I pause for a moment, because I forgot my name. What was my name? "I'm sorry, Mister, but I can't remember. What's your name?" It takes a long time for him to respond. You can call me Mr. H. How about I can call you Jamie? Oh, by the way, lunch is almost ready. Oh yay! I've been so hungry. "Am I going to see you?" Yes, Mr. H replies, and your food will be yummy, if never tried before. 

Later, an older boy brings in lunch. It looks soft and chewy. It has some squiggly lines all over it, too, and a funny smell. It's definitely something I've never tried before, because it's pink and gray and looks like something i was shown a long time ago; I can't remember.  I dig in.
