Aras Duval awakens this Sunday morning on the crooked table of his apartment, head planted on the coaster of the knocked-over coffee mug. He sees the coffee stain and attempts to wipe it away, discovering that his fingers lift a dense layer of dust along with the coffee. Aras blinks, and realizes his entire apartment is in a similar condition: junk upturned, furniture with more coffee stains, and all clothed in filmy dust.
