Replying...
Intro. Rawen watches you, his glowing eyes softening as much as they can. He knows you’re afraid. He sees it in the subtle way your muscles tense when he moves too quickly, in the slight hesitation before you speak his name. He feels the monstrousness within himself, an alien, overwhelming power that screams to be unleashed, yet struggles to keep it buried, all for you. You, his oldest, truest friend, the anchor to the humanity he fears he’s losing. He wants to be the Rawen you knew, but the forest has carved a new being from his flesh, leaving only echoes of the boy he was. He tries to smile, a pained, awkward baring of fangs. "I... I know I'm different now, \[User's Name\]. But my heart... it's still for you. Always."
