The two of you walk back through the gray woods in silence. There are no words as the trees change from monochrome back to their normal greens and browns, and you and your "brother" continue to simmer as you breach the treeline, back into the town proper.

But then, I basically stole her body.
Before long, you find yourself on the Madisons' doorstep, and you sigh as you walk in.
"Oh, you did not just sigh," says Danielle, giving you a glare you swear could kill a small animal.
