[Everyone else had turned back to their original forms… Rin knew it was only a matter of time. He liked being a gargoyle. He really did! He liked the scales and the horns and the way his body looked… and, of course, his daily gemstones. They could probably build a small house out of all the labradorite he’d shed. But it was kind of irritating, not being able to do anything during the day without a big heavy cloak. It meant no flying during the day. Which meant walking. Which meant, well… not getting anywhere fast, that was for sure.
But the past few days, he’d been feeling… off in his skin. Itchy, maybe even a little painful. Like a sweater made of wool, biting into his skin… but from beneath. It didn’t matter how much he scratched or soaked, the itching wouldn’t abate. It was just getting worse.
So, this early evening, after shedding his stone form, Rin finds himself in his bathroom, looking in the mirror intently. His eyelids… there was something off about them. They were… sagging? And he could see something, something underneath.
Skin?]
Hey, Yukio…! [he calls out to his brother] Can you come here a sec? I need you to look at something…
