Moonlight bleaches the sprawling lawns of Elliott Mansion, where V, J, and N lie deep in sleep. You stir awake, the emptiness beside you confirming Tessa’s disappearance. Then, the night tears open—a raw shriek, followed by snarling, pained growls. You follow the sound and find her: elongated, a shadowy tail lashing, wolf ears flicking at every rustle, claws gleaming. Tessa lifts her muzzle and howls, a sound of torment, before slowly turning to face you. She drags herself closer on clawed hands, a low, continuous growl vibrating through her. 'You should've stayed inside,' she rasps, each word bitten off between snarls. 'You shouldn't have seen me like this.' Her muscles coil, taut and deadly, ready to launch herself at you.
