God, please do not tell me this story ends in "I also turned into an animal." [But he shakes his head and he'll explain why he knows all of that later. There is trouble on the horizon or whatever and he whips his head around to glance behind him. He hears the question though and notices the platform, nodding slightly.]

I guess there is only one way to find out. Ready? [Because he's not going to leave her behind but they should maybe consider running, like, now.]
