The next moment she woke up, she found herself staring into the same forest floor of leaves and pebbles. She closed her eyes, wanting to go back to sleep, when she felt something poke her in the cheek.
"Is she dead?"
"No, dummy, she just opened her eyes!"
"Shall we bring her to the hospital?"
"That's it. I'm calling 911,..."
(F/N) instinctively snapped her eyes open and sat bolt upright when she heard the unfamiliar voices talking about her. She looked at them and saw two teens in weird attire consisting of short - sleeved shirts and knee - length pants staring confusedly and worriedly at her. Both of them were carrying what looked like huge rucksacks with a lot of pockets on their bags and they even wore funny looking hats that were cut on the top.
Weird, thought (F/N). What's the point of wearing a hat if it exposes your head?
"Hey, miss, are you okay?" the one who must've poked her in the cheek asked her. He was carrying a stick and unknowingly pointing it at her. "Are you injured?"
"What are you doing out here?" asked the teen's companion. "How can we help you?"
(F/N) opened her mouth to speak, and with a painful sensation on her throat, most probably due to her narrow escape from death due to asphyxiation, said, "Where am I?"
"Trost City." answered the one with the stick. "Are you lost?"
"No." she answered. It was the truth, she's still in Trost. "Are you the ones who saved me from them?"
"Oh, god! Did someone really try to kill you? I'm definitely calling 911 now!"
In a confused daze, (F/N) stood up in shock, unable to understand what these teenagers were saying. This made the two strangers even more scared and confused.
"Don't worry, miss! The cops are coming."
"No! Leave me alone!" (F/N) practically screamed at them and ran as fast as she could away from the two.
"I have no idea, sasha-chan-sama. But, I honestly think she just came from some kind of a weeb party. I mean, look at her."
"Yeah, dude, definitely right."
As the two talked about her, (F/N) made her way out of the forest, glad to still know the way out. But, when she finally came out, she hoped she was back there again, for it seemed that she just entered the afterlife, and this is what Heaven, or Hell, looked like.
Instead of the usual marketplace filled with dirty peasants going about their daily, mundane business, she saw a magnificent - looking park filled with citizens wearing different and weir - looking clothes, kind of similar to what the two teenagers she met at the forest wore. The females were wearing absolutely tiny skirts and pants that showed their bare thighs, and some of them even had the courage to expose bits of their chest. The males were wearing short - sleeved shirts in different patterns, matched with strange - looking fabrics that went well with their equally atrange - looking footwear. All of them paraded around the place in different directions, but most of them were looking into small, flat devices that shone like a light.
