**Raine:** I’m just going to stay in my room. I can’t go out like this. Even if I do change back, I could shift again at any time.
**Red:** Raine, it’s not... that bad.
**Red:** Besides, this place is already a man-agony!
**Raine:** A... what?
**Red:** You know... lots of creatures?
**Raine:** _Uh..._ wait, a menagerie?
**Red:** _That it!_ There’s wolves, tigers, basitins, even a bloody _**dragon**_ living here... It’s not going to matter to anyone how you look.
**Raine:** But it matters to _**me!**_ And it seems to still matter to you. I heard you talking outside...
**Raine:** _“Fleabags”?_
**Red:** What? No! That’s not... I didn’t mean... _you..._
**Red:** (Thoughts) _Damn it, I did it again! I need to watch what I say..._
**Raine:** How I look isn’t what I’m most worried about, anyway. The sleepwalking... it scares me. What if it’s just the beginning?
**Raine:** What if it keeps getting worse? You’ve heard of feral Keidran, haven’t you? Losing my body is one thing, but losing my mind...!
**Raine:** I could end up becoming more and more like a wolf! Until eventually I’m just an animal who doesn’t even remember who she was anymore much less
**Red:** _**Raine!**_
**Red:** Listen to me: you are _**not**_ going feral! I promise.
**Red:** You just need to learn more control.
