"Well, Mary, I'm off. Enjoy your new body!" Gandrocont gives her a brief wave as he turns around and a shimmering yellow portal opens in the air in front of him.
"WAIT!" She yells, grabbing his jacket in her sharp clawed paws.
"Yes?" He turns halfway around.
"Please don't leave me like this! Please!" She shakes his coat vigorously, tears streaming down her face.
"You've made your choice. Goodbye, Mary."
"Please! I'll do anything! Just don't make me stay like this, please, I beg you! I didn't know... I didn't know..."
"Hmm..." he holds a hand to his chin, thinking things over.
