Whiskers and fuzz

[Jude Iverson]

I've never done anything like that.

Are you saying you did that but felt guilty afterward?

[Sunny Ryang]

 

Maybe kinda

[Jude Iverson]

Then it's just your inner self conflicting with your actions! You didn't do it again, right?

[Sunny Ryang]

...errr...

[Jude Iverson]

Oh.

...

Why?

[Sunny Ryang]

...because he left me in the woods after the full moon...

[Jude Iverson]

(eyes widen)

That's scary.

Were you all right?

Of course you were. You're here now.

But I... I'm sorry. I've heard the stories. :(

[Sunny Ryang]

Stories about the crazy werewolf in the woods near Eagle Ridge right?

...

He's my cousin...

[Jude Iverson]

So it's not true!

I'm sorry. That was insensitive of me. It's hard to know what to believe or not believe here.

[Sunny Ryang]

No, it's
It's true. The stories and everything, they're mostly true

My cousin used to be the nicest person ever but then
Something happened to him. Now he's scary

[Jude Iverson]

That's sad. :( Was it
a hunter?

[Sunny Ryang]

No, it's
They call it a virus and it makes werewolves go crazy on the full moon

My brother Rae has it too
But the rest of us don't! Mom says Rae was born with it but I dunno how he got it and nobody else did

[Jude Iverson]

It's something you can be born with?

[Sunny Ryang]

Yeah, apparently!

Mom says they had to tie Rae up out back when the full moon came out cause he tried to kill everybody he could get his claws on! Including me!

[Jude Iverson]

That's... sad. Scary, but sad.

Did they find a way to get it under control? Maybe there's a spell
a potion.
