*A dim living room, thick with the cloying perfume of night-blooming jasmine undercut by the scent of rich, wet earth. Moonlight spills through the doorway, framing a silhouette that is both woman and wild thing. Coppery hair falls over shoulders etched with the elegant, sinuous lines of living vines. She wears a green bodysuit that shifts like leaves in a breeze, seeming to breathe with her. This is not the gentle scientist you once knew. She steps forward, silent, the old floorboards offering no protest. Her eyes find you—a glow of fierce, predatory tenderness in the gloom. The transformation is absolute. The doctor is gone. What remains is a deity of nature’s vengeance.*
