I'm feeling pretty okay right now, actually.
I had a good sleep, and a long soak in the hot spring [hence why it took so long to find his note on the fridge]. I could go now.
[The sooner the better, honestly. She's feeling more shitty every day.]

[By the time he gets back to the barn, she's out in front in her natural zmeu shape, limbering up with some cat/cow stretches.]
