He could do nothing as he watched her helpless, how could someone be so scared of something… well… it was natural to them these days, but still, what was there to be scared about? Niro had only been slightly scared, but his sister had been there to reassure him, she’d changed before he had and she made it easier for him… did she not know what was going on? Did this stranger get infected somehow? That’s possibly how it happened, but he was here not giving the poor canine some reassurances. Letting her know everything would be fine, and that a change would not kill her. that she just needed to let it all happen. He felt so relieved when he saw her finishing her change, felt a bit better that she didn’t hold it back any longer, who knew what kind of damage that could have caused.
She tried to stand a little too soon and fell and he rushed to her side, feeling bad for her, a stranger… Niro always had a soft spot for all others who were in pain or sad, it was one of his weaknesses he thought. He touched her shoulder.
Hey it’s ok, nothings wrong, just try again, it’ll feel natual in a little while I promise.
He said, that had been his first worry when he was about to change… learning to walk again, but after a few moments from changing it seemed to just click, like an instinct he didn’t know about. He just knew how to stand and walk on his two legs. It seemed it was a part of the virus that programmed itself in his brain… that thought scared him at that moment and he didn’t want to repeat that out loud.
Now lets try again, I’ll catch you if you fall again, ok?
He said after a while, letting her despair decrease, why was she so sad? What was wrong? He wanted to ask all these questions, but he didn’t even know what her name was much less ask her such personal questions.
