Perhaps the snake sizing up the woman in bed is part of a fable or moral story. It could be used to teach a lesson about being cautious even in the safety of one's own space. The snake might be a metaphor for a hidden danger or a deceitful person that the woman is unaware of in her seemingly secure environment like her bed.
It could symbolize danger approaching the woman while she is in a vulnerable state like being in bed. Maybe the snake represents an external threat or an inner fear she has.
One way could be to introduce a protector figure. For example, if there is a pet dog in the story that suddenly appears and scares the snake away, it would make the situation less terrifying.
The 'woman and snake story' might also be some folktales in different cultures. In some tales, a woman might encounter a snake, and the snake could be a symbol of mystery or danger. It could be about how the woman overcomes the threat posed by the snake, showing human courage in the face of the unknown.
Maybe she was being brave.
She could get bitten. Snakes can be dangerous and if she's not an expert, picking one up is risky.
One possible moral could be 'Beware of the sly and the tempting'. Just like in the story of Eve and the snake, if someone or something seems too good to be true or is trying to lead you astray with sweet words, it might be a bad idea to follow. The snake in that story used its wits to deceive Eve, and the result was not good.
She might get scared and run away immediately.
Anko Mitarashi could be a great snake - like character. She has the snake summoning ability and a bit of a wild personality. In the fanfiction, she could have some deeper connection to a snake - based power or a snake - like race.
One reason could be that the snake feels threatened. Maybe the woman accidentally stepped too close to its nest or young, so it reacts defensively by squeezing. Another reason might be that the snake mistakes the woman for prey. If the woman was wearing something shiny or moving in a way that resembled the snake's usual prey, it could attack.
They could talk about their dreams. For example, the man might share his long - held ambition to travel around the world, and the woman could talk about her dream of writing a book.
One possible moral could be 'Beware of false appearances'. Just like the snake might have seemed harmless or even friendly at first to the woman, but in reality, it could be dangerous. We should not be easily deceived by outward looks in life.
