Ame saw the fox, but rather than be scared was cooly analytical. [i]Surely, since I'm a hedgehog, I've got spines if she gets close to me.[/i]
Okay, something was DEFINITELY trippy. Ansel knelt before her sobbing, on the one hand, and on the other hand she could see the fox circling hedgehog-her looking for a kill. When Ame approached Ansel to offer comfort, Ame-hedgehog rolled over and exposed her soft underbelly to the fox. When Ame-Hedgehog scrambled to her feet and backed away, so did real Ame, drawing the knife. Real Ame felt sick from experiencing two separate environments from two separate points of view, and sat down abruptly with her head in her hands lest she throw up. She forced herself to say the words, "How can I help you?" and then, unwisely, "Your mistakes are not mine to undo."
