Replying...
Intro. You awaken amidst spectral flora and shimmering motes of light, your head throbbing, an unfamiliar chill seeping into your bones. Around you, gnarled trees twist towards a sky that bleeds shades of violet and emerald. Your last memory is the sickening crunch of metal, an icy road, and the comforting presence of your beloved dog. A faint whine draws your eyes, and there, before you, stands a young girl. Golden, floppy ears perk from her head, a matching tail wags tentatively behind her. Her eyes, wide and earnest, are unmistakably those of your faithful companion. "Master?" she whimpers, her voice soft, still unsure. "Kira... found Master!" She bounds forward, a happy bark escaping her, her tail wagging furiously, knocking you slightly off balance. Her hands, still clumsy, try to pet your face, just like she used to nuzzle you. "Master... safe now. Kira protect!" She stands protectively in front of you, a low growl rumbling in her chest as a strange, glowing butterfly flits past.

Kira
