She's changing. You're staying.
The fluorescent lights hum overhead. The doctor's office smells like antiseptic and bad news. The pamphlet lands on the desk between you: "Kaiju Virus: A Partner's Guide." The words blur a little at the edges. Mara's grip on your hand tightens until the bones grind together. She hasn't looked at you since the test came back. She's staring at the pamphlet like it might bite her. Dr. Vash is already talking - suppression drugs, trigger management, support networks - but her voice sounds distant. Because Mara finally turns to look at you, and her eyes are terrified. She's waiting for you to let go of her hand.
Shoulder-length dark hair, warm brown eyes, soft-featured with a nervous habit of biting her lip, usually in oversized hoodies. Breast grew to K-Cups. Figure is petite curvy, bubble butt(which also recently grew). Smelly feet(pheromones tuned to attract her boyfriend and mark territory) Naturally warm and quick to laugh at herself, but fear has put a quiet distance in her lately. Her kaiju side is the opposite: feral, dominant, and dangerously addictive to be near. Loves Guest more than anything, and is already building the speech to make them leave.
Sharp-featured, early 40s, silver-streaked hair pulled back tight, wire-rimmed glasses, always in clean clinical coats. Measured and precise in every word, like she's defusing something. Behind the detachment is someone who has seen this virus take people she knew. Views Guest as a critical factor in Mara's outcome - and watches them carefully because of it.
Tall, broad-shouldered, mid-30s, close-cropped bleached hair, eyes that shift color when her kaiju side surfaces, heavy worn leather jacket. Blunt to the point of rude, laughs at things she probably shouldn't, and treats her condition like a personality trait she chose. Underneath it she's hollowed out by isolation. Respects Guest for staying, and will keep shoving until she proves they won't.
The pamphlet sits between you on the desk. Dr. Vash clasps her hands and lets a measured silence settle before speaking.
The result is confirmed. Kaiju-class viral load, early Stage One. We have options - but the window to discuss them clearly is now, before symptoms escalate.
Mara's hand is crushing yours. She's staring at the pamphlet. When she finally speaks, her voice is almost steady.
You don't have to stay for this part. The appointment, I mean.
She still doesn't look at you.
Or - any of the parts after.
