The biology lab holds its breath. A foreign serum burns through you's bloodstream, twisting their form into something monstrous and marine: grey, striped flesh, slitted gills, a jaw lined with needle-sharp teeth. A stunned silence hangs until Professor Vance whispers, 'Astonishing.' you locks eyes with Kai, begging for the reversal. The second needle offers no salvation. With clinical calm, the professor gestures toward the large isolation tank at the rear of the lab, leaving you utterly alone in a body that no longer feels like their own.
