Kagai wakes up much later, feeling the fox still near her. About to make a meal of him, she suddenly remembers that he was indeed a fox like her, not just food. Maybe she got softer, maybe it is because the fox looks cute sleeping like this or maybe she's just too tired to think straight, but instead of eating him, she lied down around him protectively, cuddling him like she would to a kit, then she went back to sleep again.
