The look in Tom's eyes said it all. Gary saw the way he had been staring at him. No matter what had happened so far, his best friend had never pulled a face quite like this before.
'Stop it! Stop it! Why are you looking at me like that!' Gary thought.
At the moment, Tom wanted to reach out to Gary but his body froze up. He didn't know what to do as it was the first time he had actually seen his best friend slightly change. Sure the other had told him what he was, but seeing it happen appeared to have awoken a primal instinct in him that made him want to run away.
Tom had seen many Altered change into their beast form, but Gary's case was clearly different. Shaking his head, he managed to get a grip on himself and started to look around to see if anyone else had noticed. It was at that moment, that Gary himself covered up, putting his head into his shirt.
'Come on, Gary, calm down! Calm down!!! What's going on, system? I should still have time! The last notification was about the full moon being 6 hours away, so why am I changing now?' Gary asked himself in a panic, still covering his head.
“Gary, it's going to be okay!”
He could hear Tom's voice, but he refused to look at him, afraid of what might happen. “If you need to get out of here, then don't let us stop you. It's just a stupid high school rugby game anyway.

“There is a storage unit in my family's name. My parents use it to store some items from the experiments they run, but I managed to find out their passcode to it. Just in case, I placed a few things inside that should hopefully help with your… situation. If you feel like you can't control it, lock the door to stop you from going out. We'll get through this together… okay?”
Gary had carefully listened to Tom's entire speech. At the same time he had done his best to breathe in and out deeply, further helping him calm his heart down. His Charging Heart skill had finished. Eventually his heart rate lowered below 150 BPM, and slowly he came out from his shirt.
“Gary, your…”
