Shiina tried to control herself, but something was changing within her as well as without. Grasping for sense was like trying to gain a hold of a metal ball doused in oil. She was slipping off an edge.
Her skin was on fire. It had started at the rash, but now it was spreading over her entire body like a ravenous colony of ants. She wanted to rake her nails across her arms until the skin tore, but Mike was grabbing at her and holding her still. She couldn't possibly fight against a man with his strength...
...Or she might have thought, had this been a normal situation. But Shiina was no longer just the weak girl she had been moments before. Wanting to scream, Shiina yanked away from his grip, her skin peeling away as it rubbed across Mike's calloused palm. She shrunk back, her hands clawing blindly at her arms, clothes, ad scalp as she stumbled.
She couldn't see. Her irises had all but disappeared and her pupils were rapidly shrinking. Even if she could, it would not have helped her cope with the way her flesh and hair just flaked off, giving way to a metallic flash of greasy feathers.
