Kozakura Asai

Kozakura was stunned when he so rapidly pulled away; she hoped she hadn't offended him by overstepping any boundaries, that was the last thing she wanted to do in this already odd situation.
But when that initial buzzing pain centered in the midst of her back started and spread like wildfire, any concern Ko had over offending anyone went rapidly out the proverbial door. It was unlike anything she had ever felt before. It felt like the portal to hells gates had opened right on her back and that every bad creature that had ever lived was about to come out and create unimaginable havoc, like Kozakura's body was some reincarnated version of Pandora's Box. Okay, maybe that was a little dramatic but Kozakura only knew that she did not like whatever the feeling was and that it was the most unusual pain or surge she'd felt in her lifetime thus far. And when she finally looked up after the first initial shock of the pain passed, it seemed she wasn't the only one feeling it.
Her feet when numb, her fingers got the odd tingly feeling, and it felt like spiders were creeping across her back, spreading in a wave in intricate-like patterns. This electric feeling was buzzing through her body, and though the weather was a little more on the nice breezy side before, she felt like every part of her body would be hot to the touch. The only thing that brought her attention away from the unknown was the accusations of the animal-eared boy asking her what the hell she'd done. If her temper hadn't already been spiked before, it sure was now.
"What kind of idiot are you!?" she fired back at him, taking off her backpack and swinging it towards the animal eared boy, whacking his arm. "How could I have done something by touching those fake ears of yours! I don't even know what this is!" Ko huffed, waving her arms to the two others in reference to them feeling whatever the hell had happened as well. Crossing her arms over her chest after she slipped her backpack back on, she slightly mumbled a bickering sentence to herself before noticing the oddly inked tattoo appear on animal ears and scarf boy. Ko's eyebrows furrowed in clear confusion as her previous clear expression of exasperation shifted into a look of muddled perplexity. Looking down at her own slightly revealed shoulder from where her too big shirt slipped, she noticed odd red inky lines had appeared on her previous clear skin. She thought for a moment she had simply been scratched by something when she was down in the well, but on further inspection she noticed the lines seemed to go further down her back. Kozakura sounded out an audible "huh?" before twisting around trying to get a better look at her back. Quickly she scrambled off her red cardigan to see if anything was on her arms, yet thankfully they appeared clear on first glance. After lifting up the back of her shirt slightly, she saw a tattoo of sorts had formed there as well. She couldn't particularly see what it was, and didn't want to rip off her shirt in front of complete strangers to check, but the knowledge that there was some marking there that hadn't been before worried her enough that any more curiosity as to what it could have been could wait until later.
Looking back up at the three, first at animal ears, then to starry haired girl, then to scarf boy, she couldn't exactly work out what was happening, so instead she figured she'd go with the most obviously logical explanation her head could come up with.
It must be a dream.
She must have knocked her head on some rock on the ground when she had fallen into the well and completely blacked out. Clearly she realized she was not in the same place as the original well, so it had to have been some wild dream her mind had come up with. She was shocked at her own subconscious, it was so random that she couldn't pinpoint the meaning of the dream, and hoped then when she woke she wasn't bleeding out her her head or something. There must be only one way to get out of the dream, and she figured she knew what it was so in a final flurry of conclusion, she said thinking out loud, "Iβll just go back in the well, everything will be normal!β and like a tiny tornado, she wiped back around in determination and climbed on the ledge of the well once more, trying to climb back in as careful as she can. She always hated those dreams where you fall off a cliff or something and suddenly wake up before impact, so she figured sheβd try to make it down as safety as she could even if it was a dream.
