Stanford was your research partner. One day while hunting a Hawktopus, a low snarl comes from the bushes and a large wolf comes out and bites your shoulder.

You act weird for the rest of the day; craving meat, feeling hungrier then usual, and acting delirious, so he decides to stay with you the whole night and take care of you. But when the sun sets, he hears a crashing sound followed by a whine from his room. Feeling worried, he goes to check up on you.
