"Huh?"

 

A white-haired girl opens her eyes and quickly sits up, taking a look at her surroundings. The ambience that welcomes her awakening is that of a serene forest with a passing breeze. She has no idea what is going on, or why she was sleeping - she just knows she's is there.

 

"Hey, you're awake now!"

 

The voice of a young boy catches her attention. She widens her eyes as she stares at the approaching figure.

 

"You looked like you were in a pretty tough spot, so I brought you here! Are you feeling better, ma'am?"

 

He smiles at her and observes her expectantly, but the ensuing silence makes him blink a couple of times.

 

"Is something wrong?"

 

"Who are you...? Where am I...?"

 

"Oh! Hehe, I'm sorry. I forgot to introduce myself."

 

Embarrassed, the youth awkwardly rubs the back of his head...

 

"I'm ██████. And who would you be, ma'am?"

  

Her eyes drift downwards. The question is a bit too difficult for her to answer. She brings up a hand in order to look at it... and realize she's staring at a black claw.

 

"Huh...? This... doesn't feel right? Why doesn't it feel right...?"

 

The boy raises his eyebrows once he takes note of her carapace hand. He's speechless for a few moments, but...

 

"Oh well! It's not a big deal. How about you come with me and get something to eat? You gotta be hungry, ma'am."

  

He offers his hand, waiting with a smile as radiant as the sun itself.

  

She looks at him with a confused face.

 

"Well? C'mon!"
