I died...
by a truck…
while saving a girl…
So, what happened was I was going to the office but suddenly I found this girl crossing the road very frantically.
However, there was a truck coming towards her.
Before I knew it, I moved the girl away. Thankfully we dodged the truck.
When the girl fell to the floor, suddenly another truck came from the opposite lane. This time me and the girl were both fallen on the ground didn't have time to dodge as such I died before I could say anything to the girl.
"Well, at least I tried." Even though I couldn't save the girl.
'Huh!' Suddenly, my consciousness came back. And I found myself in a very weird place.
A damp cave of snow. It was really weird. Why am I in a snowy cave and not in a hospital? Could this be the afterlife?
I tried to stand up only to realize something truly terrifying.
I have paws!!!!
"Yip Yip yip!!!!" I immediately jumped in fright. I am an animal!
What the fu...
"Yip." Suddenly I heard a sqwel and i was sure it was not the one i was making. So i looked behind and realized calmly sitting behind me was a small furry white fox.
"Yip Yip Yip!!!!" I jumped again in fright.
Looking at me frightened the white fox didn't seem to have much reaction. It calmly walked forward and on the floor was a bunch of snow fallen from the hole in the cave ceiling.
It started moving its paws on it.
[ Yo uncle, how's it going? ] The fox wrote on the snow in Japanese.
"Yiiiiiippppppp!!!" A fox that knows Japanese!!!
.

After a bit of calming down,
I now with a more rational mind looked at the other fox in front of me.
Yes, other fox. Because I am a fox too. That's why I have white furry paws and a tail.
I started writing on the snow as none of us could talk.
[ So you died as well? ] I wrote. I realized it late, but this fox is the girl that actually died with me.
[ Yeah, it was a bummer. ] She wrote.
'Bummer?'
[ I am really sorry I couldn't save you. ] I wrote.
[ It's fine. ]
It seems she didn't mind.
[ So before we start up with the current situation how about we introduce ourselves? ] I proposed. Knowing each other, at least the name would be good.
[ The names Ely. ]
I couldn't help but squint my eyes. [ That doesn't sound really Japanese. ] I wrote.
[ I decided to go with a less Japanese name in this life. ] The girl wrote which made me want to bash my head. This girl thought of a name already!
[ I also have a name for you as well. Siya. It has a nice ring to it. ]
She already named me as well?
'Hm?' I felt like there is something wrong with this name.
'Wait a minute...'
[Isn't that a girl's name? ] I wrote confused.
But what she wrote next made my ears droop.
[ You are a girl now though. You are a female fox. We both are. ]
I couldn't help but look at her face with the questioning face of 'wut?'
She nodded in 'yap' in order to confirm it.
"Yiiiiiiiiiiiiippppppppppppppp (Noooooooooooooooooo!)"
