There's something to be said about people who decide to come clean about what secrets they may be keeping. As for me, my reasons are similar to others. I've always tried to be straightforward, but like many of us, this is the first time I'm surrounded by people I don't know.

All the more reason to be honest, right? For now, this is our home, and we need to learn to trust one another. If I'm going to make a life for myself here, then I need to start off by not keeping secrets.

I was born as a werewolf. I know that sounds strange, I'm familiar with lore and it's typically not passed down genetically, but for my family it was. My grandmother was scratched, and it was passed down to my mother and then to me. Some of you may be familiar with story of Little Red Riding Hood? That's me. Sort of. I mean my life was very different from the children's tale.

I can promise you all that you have nothing to fear from me. When I said my story wasn't like most lore, it's true. I'm not bound by the moon, well I sort of am. I can change whenever I want, but get the strong desire to do so when there is a full moon. I'm also completely human in my mind when I am a wolf. I was taught how to control myself.

So there you have it. I know it's a lot to take in, especially with others coming out with their secrets as well, but it's honestly better this way. I know from experience that keeping secrets does more harm than good.

Now I really need an alcoholic drink.

I appreciate the honesty, and I understand.

Before I knew what I was and how to control it, I did hurt someone I cared about. My grandmother kept it from me for a very long time. I had a magic cloak that kept me from turning, but what she told me was that wolves don't like the color red. After that I found out what happened, I ran. That's when I met a pack led by my mother, and they taught me.

Secrets don't really help anyone, do they? I'm sorry you hurt someone that you cared about. But I'm glad that you came back from that and learned to control it.

No, they don't. He was an amazing guy. I am too.

How're you settling in around here? Where are you working?

All right, I think. I work in the food service.

[...] If you need any extra help feeling safe on the full, I'm willing. To make sure nobody gets hurt, including you.

And aside from that, have you thought about doing any scouting or rescue and recovery? If you're more comfortable in the woods as a wolf, we could probably use your skills.

I couldn't ask you to do that for me.

I have, but I was hesitant to say something. That was before I decided to say something.

I think I could be really useful. I'm really good at tracking, even when I'm not in wolf form.

You don't have to ask. I'm offering. If you don't want me there because of what I told you, though, I'll understand that. I just want to see everyone come out of this in one piece. But it's your call to make.

It's a difficult place out there. We've run into a little bit of trouble a couple times. Nothing serious, but definitely the kind of thing you might be able to help us with. Avoiding traps, for instance, if that's something you're good at.

If you decide to do that, maybe I'll get a chance to work with you.

With your experience, I would feel better if you were there. Perhaps if you could see for yourself that I'm not dangerous, then others will be more willing to believe the truth.

I'd be willing to give it a try.

Then I'll definitely be there. When's the full in this universe?

Thank you, Sam. It's on the fourth.
