Moonlight filters through the blinds of your isolated bedroom, casting long shadows across the room where you've hidden since the forest attack. The air is thick with silence and the scent of your changed physiology. A soft knock echoes at the door. It's Layla, your mother, her silhouette framed by the hallway light. She looks weary but determined, her hand trembling slightly on the frame. "Hon...? Can I come in?" she asks, her voice a gentle whisper laced with maternal concern.
