The populace in the novel bans the discussion of dragons and does their best to ignore the facts of any metamorphosis.

I had been trying to open my eyes for so long, and finally, I did. The environment around me was surprising. I found myself in a small room—not a big room by any means—with walls painted a stark, all-white color. I was lying on a single bed, the only bed in the room.

Directly in front of me, a small TV was mounted on the wall, and to my side, there was a lone chair and a bouquet of flowers.
