Over the past few weeks, Melons body had been going through a change. He was a mixed beast, leopard and gazelle, but he had always been a little more like a gazelle, minus his sharp teeth and lithe tail. But now, he woke up every day a little more like a leopard. More spots along his right side, stronger muscles, claws. He hated it. He looked like his Mama.

But among these physical changes, new feelings were blooming as well. Food, which had previously tasted like sand to him, now had flavour. He gorged himself on sweets until he got sick, ate fruits and vegetables that actually had a taste for once, made many purchases of meat in the black market, devouring it in instants. And...he wasn't just hungry for food. For the first time in his life he felt...aroused, on occasion. Lusted over pretty females, wanted to feel everything. It scared him. But now, meeting at the Shishigumi headquarters again with the pretty little female beast that kept the cops off their trail, he was feeling it again. Badly.
