Kassy shut her eyes when the small metal disc was removed. Tipping her head, she rubbed the empty spot behind her ear. She couldn't remember a time that she didn't wear them. "Hm... I suppose I should get to a bath, I'll start to revert eventually. I don't want to-" Suddenly, she felt like her head was going to split into pieces. The pain came on her like a high-speed migraine.

"Aaagh!" She hit the ground on her knees, clutching her head and screaming in pain. What was this? A side effect? She clenched her eyes shut, shuddering. "Wh- what's... happening..." 

There were images in her head, now. Flashes of things she didn't know. A lovely woman with white hair and a tail like hers, a bald man kissing her cheek, a warm hug and- Who were these people? She felt like she should know them, somehow, but... 

"Help- someone h-help..."

They kept coming, faster and faster, images and sounds and feelings. A whole world underwater, then rooms of children. Pain, fear, keep safe, she had to keep it out- White clothes and metal, and over and over in her head, she was the future, she was the new beginning, she was alpha, she was alpha, she was... was...

The pain or the images overwhelmed Kassy, and she succumbed, dropping into unconsciousness.
