You're minding your own business, when all of the sudden you are attacked by a group of bandits or perhaps soldiers of an opposing country. You are battered, bruised and cut to the point where there is next to no hope for you to survive. The wounds have been cut deep, you feel yourself inching closer and closer towards the afterlife. Your vision blurs and everything goes black. Suddenly a stranger happens by (generally a female) and discovers that you still have a pulse. So, being the good Samaritan they are, they bring you back to their own personal cabin and begin nursing you back to health.

[[UnfamiliarCeiling You awake, distraught and confused at your new surroundings]], when your savior walks in pleasantly surprised that you are awake and asks how you are feeling and will explain what they were doing before happening across your limp body, essentially saying: "I found you like this." Assuming your caretaker is not a JerkWithAHeartOfGold, they will help you get back on your feet and in working order, if they are then they will just tell you to leave whenever possible. If the caretaker doesn't come in right away after you wake up, this gives you an opportunity to look around the room and take note of anything interesting or unusual about the place.

* Happens to Danielle Kendall in ''Webcomic/KevinAndKell'' after she finds herself in the alternate world of anthropomorphic animals. She ends up fainting in fear at the sight of a giant walking rabbit, who takes her to her home so that she may recover (though that's because she happened to look exactly like a family member of his). For sake of increasing tension, an electricity blackout occurs just as she wakes up, meaning that it takes a bit of time before she can see she's not among humans.
