Fox woke up to find himself on the floor in a darkened room. Fox tried to get up, only to discover that his arms and legs were tied up. A muzzle held his mouth shut, preventing him from talking. Fox did all he could do and waited. He spent about fifteen minutes waiting for something, anything, to happen.

Suddenly, the door opened slowly. Though the sudden burst of bright light blinded him, Fox could recognize the figure standing in the doorway. After his eyes adjusted to the light, he confirmed his suspicions. Her.

"You gave me quite a scare."

Krystal's soothing voice scared Fox. How could a vixen whose life he ruined from day one be so calm when speaking to him? The lack of anger or malice in her voice made it seem almost sinister to Fox. Fox could do nothing but look into her haunting eyes as she continued.

"Why would I still be mad at you? I mean, I was when you first left me. I realized soon after that you weren't just some heartless jerk who discards his loved ones as soon as he's done with them."

Fox wondered where she was going with this. Why was she so calm, so... happy? What does she want?

"You were just confused. You've heard of live, but it was still a foreign concept to you. When it struck, you were afraid of it. You didn't want it nor did you want to lose it. So you cast it away, hoping to never feel it again."

What was she talking about? What did she want?

"But it never goes away, does it? You tried to hide from it because you didn't know that it was inside of you. Don't be afraid of it."

Fox did not like where this was going.

"Embrace it, because we're going to be together... forever."

Forever? Did she say forever? Fox desperately squirmed away from her as she walked towards him.

"No more pain or tears. Our torment ends right now. Your burden is gone."

How did she know about his self-imposed burden? Krystal picked the squirming fox up and carried him to the bedroom. All over the walls, Fox could see pictures of them, together or separate. Unsent, tear-covered love letters covered the nightstand. In the partially opened closet, Fox could see various outfits, including her loincloth from Sauria and a wedding dress. Fox immediately knew what she had planned for him. Krystal gently lowered him onto the bed.

"Yes, tomorrow is a very special day. Tonight, I'm going to read to you."

Krystal picked up a love letter and began reading.
