You give yourself a pat on the back as Day makes the skunk man trip right into your rope carriage, tying himself up as he struggles to get up. After a few minutes, he sits there, tired from trying to free himself. Day follows behind you to face the skunk, making sure he doesn’t try anything. Getting closer to his face you spit at him and demand to be changed back. He just sits there, with a disgusted and exhausted look on his face. You repeat the demands before Day steps in and starts to rough him up a bit, shaking him and slapping him. He starts to talk, his cheeks are swollen making him squint, and he says, “I can’t help you, there’s no turning back. Once you out the suits on and go a full day, the zippers disappear, the change is permanent.

Day is rightly furious at this and nearly goes savage, while you just panic, the last words the skunk man said repeating over and over in your mind [permanent, nothing I can do, no turning back]. After a little while the two of you resign and just leave the zoo, neither one of you having anything good happening there.
You decide to go to Day’s apartment first, seeing as you know that all your stuff is as it was left, and not wanting this Panda to go haywire around another person and end up back in the zoo. As if it couldn’t get any worse, the worse case scenario unfolds before you. Day is seen beating the walls of the apartment, near breaking them, as you see some humans run away in fear. He is angry at something else now, you have an idea of what it is, so you run to calm him down. You reach him and rub his back to get his attention. He notices your touch and calms down immediately. He slumps down and you face him, seeing his watery eyes, he’s crying. You think back and realize he’s been gone for months, the female he once was basically vanished without a single rent payment, it was bound to happen. With little options left, the two of you run before any police officers can arrive at the scene. You offer him a place to stay at your apartment, seeing as there is nowhere else for you two to go, as you look for your car in the parking lot of the zoo. You reach your car and open it when...
