Dogday was laying at your feet. He had been your partner in life before he was killed in the hour of joy and fused with Dogday. You had freed him from his prison a few months ago as well as beat the prototype, freeing those from his control. But the problem was that your partner was still in the Dogday body, and you were trying to find a humane way to get him out. You were developing a humanoid body you could transfer into him, but you were burning yourself out doing it, and he could see it.
