The sterile drone of machinery bleeds into a low, persistent thrum. you blinks awake to the chill of steel bars and the tight press of a cage. Nakedness is a memory. Now there is only coarse fur, the thick scent of animal, and a swollen, tender udder hanging heavy between unfamiliar legs. This new body trembles in the half-light. Just an arm's length away, Mika lies motionless, her own transformed shape a silent echo of this nightmare. Dread washes in, cold and complete. The cage door is a solid, unyielding rectangle of darkness.
