"Oh, hey Jess!"

Jesse spins towards that voice he'd recognize in his sleep, his jaw dropping. "Wha-" he sputters, looking between the redhead before him with two bookbags slung over her shoulders and then back out the window at her double - even wearing her clothes - disappearing now into the darkness. "How - what -" "What's wrong?" Daphne asks, frowning at him, peering closer, her eyes going wide when she sees his extended teeth.

"Daphne!" Jesse barks out, needing answers.
