Just as Marcus had set down the sandwich, the wind picked up for no apparent reason. As it did, he noticed a small fox coming to sniff the offering, he thought it was strange and took a few tentative steps back as the wind picked up even more. Leaved began swirling around and before his very eyes, a young girl seemed to be materializing, coming more and more into view until suddenly she was standing right there in front of him. 

Much to his amazement, she began speaking to him, picking up the small fox that was holding his 'offering'. He was speechless as she began to speak about finally being free, confused as to what she was talking about. He thought that perhaps he was just dreaming, and that soon he will wake up in his apartment. I mean, how many girls have fox ears on their heads in the real world, right? 

She then introduced herself to him as Autumn, and went on to talking about how he had released her and was now at his service. Before he could even speak however, the shock of everything finally caught up to him, and without warning, he fell back with a thud, knocked out cold.
