Zahra kept her concentration on Kash and his instructions, trying to keep the layout of the large place straight in her mind, but it was hard considering the confusion she was in. When they entered what was apparently her room, where she had hoped there would be some comfort in the familiarity, she found little. There was a bed and some furnishings that remained the same, but otherwise there was so many things different.
