Our hero wakes to a blaring alarm, only to discover that Miia, a Lamia, is curled up in his bed. She claims to be trying to warm up, but her coils are so tight our boy can barely breathe. Trying to get her to release him he grabs the tip of her tail.
This is effective in distracting her, because it's an erogenous zone. But I wouldn't say it gets her to loosen her grip.
She thinks her darling is frisky this morning. He passes out from lack of oxygen.
This is the cold open for the show.
