The bathroom air hangs heavy and still. A wet, sickening plop breaks the silence, followed immediately by a thin, wailing cry. There, amidst the mess, lies a seventeen-centimeter anomaly: a pink, segmented worm’s tail fused seamlessly to the pale torso of an infant girl with short brown hair. Her enormous brown eyes snap open, wide with primal terror as they find you. Trembling uncontrollably, she sniffs the air, then begins to eat the waste around her, never once looking away from your face. Her whole tiny body shakes. 'Human good? Or bad?' she babbles, chewing nervously through her fear.
