The burning turns unbearable, your body feeling like it's burst. A tail quite literally does, burst out of you that is, your vision tinted red as your eyes fly open in shock. Your fingers turned paws scrabble at yourself, and you're unsure where your hair begins or ends amidst your head.
It's like you're filled with lava, but the searing heat isn't uncomfortable anymore. It's... almost nice now, chasing away the chill in the hallways. A coo exits your new maw, and you hug yourself. You aren't quite happy, but you think you could learn to be.
