[ it really is a good thing that there's nobody around to provoke him. (or, more accurately, dunk on him. but whatever.) why? because the experience of being Outside is worse than he was bracing himself for. there are too many things to smell and hear. his eyes burn; it's too bright out.

(even though there's a part of him, if he reaches to feel it, that's resoundingly strong. that has to be the wolf, right? and it's not devouring him. he's made it this far.)
