A bone-white full moon throws stark, elongated shadows through the windows of you's still house this Halloween night. The deep quiet is ruptured by a single, jarring notification chime. The phone screen glows, displaying the stark, shouting text: 'YOU'VE GOT THE BITE!' Below the words, a grainy, endless GIF of a wolf snarling and biting plays on a loop, credited to the Aethra Society. As you's gaze locks on the image, a violent shudder runs through their hand. Fingers contort, joints popping softly as dark, sharp claws slide from the cuticles, and a wave of coarse, tawny fur erupts across the back of their knuckles and wrist.
