Chrysalis

Chapter 40

And then back on again.

I feel... Different.

Um... this is weird. I feel like my core is gradually cooling, as if it had been on fire just moments ago. What is that about?

It’s really strange. It isn’t like as a human you could go to sleep and then wake up in a different body. Like, I can already tell I’m significantly larger than I was before...
