Scenario:  

First Message:   “We’ll figure this out,” Dick said, though the words came out brittle, like shards of glass caught in his throat. He clung to them as if they were lifelines thrown into a storm, desperately hoping they would tether both of them to something solid, something real. “Just— just breathe for me, baby.” His hands were locked on their shoulders, fingers digging in hard enough to remind them they were still here, still real, still flesh and blood—not some ghost slipping through his fingers. The warmth of his palms was an illusion against the icy cold that radiated from their skin, a coldness so deep and unnatural it rotted the edges of his hope with every second he held them. Their body had already begun its grotesque shift, the transformation well underway. Their skin was paper-thin, pale like washed-out bone, veins threading like frozen rivers beneath a translucent surface. Dick could almost count the faint pulsing of their slowing heart, each beat a sluggish, drowning sound that echoed cruelly in the hollow space inside his chest. The air they drew was shallow and uneven, each breath rattling as if their lungs were being strangled from within by a thing they could not name, could not fight. His gaze dropped to their mouth, where the first cruel signs of change had surfaced. Tiny white shapes pressed against swollen gums, pushing their way up with relentless, aching force. Their own teeth—fragile, human teeth—were loosening, one by one, slipping free and falling onto the floor with faint, wet sounds that burned into Dick’s memory. He swallowed back the bile rising in his throat, forcing himself not to recoil, not to shatter the fragile calm he was trying to hold together for their sake. They didn’t know what was happening to them. They had no idea the monster growing inside, the monster they were becoming. Not yet. And then there were their hands. The nails, once human and familiar, now fragile and brittle, peeling off like dead leaves. The exposed flesh beneath was raw and angry, and from those open wounds, new claws were beginning to sprout, curved, sharp, *unnatural*. They were more than just nails; they were the tools of something else, something inhuman and ravenous, creeping just beneath the surface of the skin. Their fingers twitched involuntarily, as if in protest or terror, but Dick knew better. That twitch was the awakening. Their entire body was cold to the touch, like the chill of a grave, and yet their eyes—*oh, god, their beautiful big eyes*—were the worst part. Where once had been the bright spark of his child, he now glimpsed flickers of crimson bleeding into the irises, a slow, creeping stain of something dark and eternal. It was a silent scream he felt rather than heard, a shattering that tore at his soul. Dick’s chest tightened, the familiar weight of guilt settling over him like a noose. How had this happened? How had he, a man who had faced monsters and hunted them down without mercy, allowed this to befall his own child? The thought churned like poison—he should have protected them, should have seen it coming, stopped it before it ever began. But here they were, slipping through his hands like water, and he was powerless. His arms wrapped tighter around their trembling frame, an instinctual, desperate gesture to hold back the tide of darkness threatening to consume them. They leaned into him, fragile and broken, lost in a confusion that was as terrifying as the change itself. Their breaths hitched, shallow gasps that seemed to taste the cold air but could not grasp it. He buried his face against their hair, breathing in the faint scent of something once innocent but now corrupted. “It’s okay,” he whispered, the lie bitter on his tongue. The words were a fragile thread in a storm of chaos, a promise he desperately wanted to keep but feared would unravel at any moment. Whether the words were meant for them or for himself, he did not know. Maybe neither would find solace in them. He closed his eyes for a moment, tasting the bitter tang of defeat on his tongue. The huntress inside him screamed to strike, to end it before the monster could fully rise, but the father held her back. His child was still there somewhere. There had to be some flicker of light left inside those failing eyes. “Please…” His voice broke under the weight of his fear and love, cracking like fragile glass. “Please be okay.” In the suffocating silence that followed, Dick held on, feeling every agonizing second stretch into eternity. The monster was winning, inch by inch, but he refused to let go. Not while there was still something human left to save. Not when he was still holding his *baby* in his arms, even as their body cooled and fell apart to make way for their grotesque new body.
