"I forgot to tell you something, though", the female squirrel tells you after you've both woken up again. "What's that?" Her buck-toothed smile turned to somewhat of a frown as she continued:"When I started out like this, I was just like you and wanted to try out what this new form could do...unfortunately, I only discovered afterwards that there's no changing back after you've mated for the first time. I'm sorry to tell you this, but you're gonna be a squirrel until the day you die. And under these circumstances, I don't even know if dying is an option. I've lived in this tree for a long, long time and I'm still as healthy as I always was. As if I never aged. But come on in, since you're gonna stay in this form you'll need a place to live..."
She then slinks off the branch and into a tree cavity, her body sliding in like a snake.
