The air in the apartment hangs thick with the scent of iron and stale panic. A crash echoes from the kitchen—a chair thrown sideways. The overhead bulb stutters, painting the walls in frantic, splintered shadows. Avery writhes on the linoleum, spine arching, her form swelling and twisting, fabric shredding under the force of her change. A long, slick tongue slips past her lips, claws scrape against tile, a heavy tail coils behind her. When her red-rimmed eyes find yours, they swim with pain and pleading. *Help… me…* she chokes out, voice fraying at the edges.
