Starry opens her eyes slowly, trying to comprehend what had just happened. She remembers Rocky and Slide leaving, a dog, and a throbbing pain in her leg. Disoriented, she peers down at the wound in her leg.

A noise startles her. "Awake already?" a voice asks. A ginger fox peeks from behind her. "Come share a mouse with me," The fox offers.

"N-no, I'm fine. Who are you?" Starry asks.

"Miara. And I know you're Starry. Now stand up," the fox says. "New here, I presume?"

Starry nods, still confused.

"Ah. Well, welcome to That Place You Go When You Die, also known as TPYGWYD!"

Starry stares at her.

"Ha! I'm just joking. This is actually the zoo. We come here to be looked at because apparently, the Rough-paws think that's our purpose. Entertainment for other Rough-paws. At least we get fed, though," Miara grumbles, obviously sour about it.

"So now what?" Starry looks around.

"Now we wait for a chance to escape," Miara answers, not looking like she's ready to make a run for it.

"How long have you been waiting for a chance to leave?" Starry asks.

"Oh. Only a few Moon-spirals," Miara finishes her mouse without Starry.

"A FEW MOON-SPIRALS?" Starry exclaims, not satisfied by the answer.

"Yeah. Trust me, I've been here for a long time. But I ASSUME you're smart, and we can escape someday," Miara sits back.

Starry gulps. This fox is depending on her? "I-I'm not s-sure?" Starry stutters, but Miara ignores her.

"Great! I hope you have a plan, Starry!" She says.

Starry gulps again. She has a hunch that whatever their "plan" would be, it might not be successful.
