Kyle outlined the specifics of Jennifer's curse. "From the moment you walk out of this room, your transformation will begin. As long as that collar is around your neck, you will slowly transform into a half-human, half-cat. Whenever you're not wearing the collar, the transformation will pause, however you will also be unable to speak in anything other than meows. If you want to talk, you'll have to put it back on.
"Furthermore," he continued, "If you go for more than half an hour without wearing the collar, you will permanently lose the ability to speak, and you will fully transform into a normal cat."
"You're crazy," Jennifer retorted.
"Maybe," Kyle said. "But I'm not the one whose life is about to change forever. Have fun while it lasts." With that, he left the room. Jennifer stood inside the doorway for a few minutes, wanting to rejoin her friends at the lunch table, but also starting to feel paranoid about what Kyle said. Would she really start changing into a freakish cat-girl the minute she walked out the door?
