[To say Bocchi was having a bad day would be an understatement, to say she wasn't having a good time would be underselling it. Bocchi is a girl who occasionally is afraid to leave her own front door if there's someone standing on the opposite side of the street, the kind of girl who vomits if she has to recite a poem in her classroom, the kind of girl who tends to take things at face value. And here she is, nearly drowned and soaking wet in another world, the kind from light novels she avoids because of the people who look at them or the anime she has trouble staying up for.
Whatever force decided to "choose" her, they picked the wrong girl on so many levels, no fighting ability, no super powers, her athletic grades are average at best and she can barely talk to other people. So many things wrong here, and here a magical lady from a lake is gifting her a giant bear as...familiar, as in the thing witches have? It has to be a dream, it just HAS to, as Bocchi collapses next a tree and sits back first against it trunk]
C-calm down, n-none of this is real. You'll be home soon, just calm down
[She sits quietly for a second and slaps her face, startling her familiar who watches closely with concern, Bocchi normally wouldn't do it so hard, but she was getting desperate, so she slaps herself again]
THIS IS A DREAM! I'M GONNA WAKE UP IN MY BED AND NONE OF THIS WILL HAVE HAPPENED! AND I'LL BE AT SCHOOL WITH MY F-FRIENDS AND I'll NEVER HAVE WORRY ABOUT!
[slap]
THIS A DREAM!
[SLAP]
THIS IS A DREAM
[SLAP]
...T-this is a d-d-dream...
[She stops, taking in her surroundings, barely being able to make them out as tears flood her eyes, her hands moving once again now covering her face muffling the sound of sobbing]
I don't wanna be here! I wanna be home with my friends, somebody, anybody! Help!
[Her familiar nuzzling Bocchi, trying its best to comfort her. Suddenly the sound of footsteps can be heard as someone approaches them. This causes Bocchi to yelp in surprise and slight terror as her familiar once comforting now fierce, growls savagely at the intruder ready to give them a good mauling if they get any funny ideas, with her hiding behind it trembling]
Spring
[It's been an ordeal for her to say the least, but being in a room does give her some level of comfort. Enough comfort to leave it? HELL NO! As far as she's concerned right now, nothing exists besides her and this room and no force in this or any other world is going remove her from it
Suddenly a knock, she freezes and locks up. What does she do! What does she do!? Not answering would be rude, and answering...she doesn't want to think about everything that could go wrong there! What to do!? What to do!?]
