[shakes her pinky! gently. she's very, very warm. almost feverish.]
I've got... this thing, in my head. It's not dangerous to you. But it's been quiet. Which... it never is, it's never quiet. So that leads me to think it's asleep or something.
But the thing is, if it is, I should be... way less red and way more slimy. Seeing as I'm not, I'm guessing the timer's stopped.
It's a countdown. You've got something like three, four days before you turn into a monster once these things have you, but I've got a friend - that's the quiet thing - making it so that doesn't happen to me.
... Sorry, I know that's the sort of thing nobody wants to hear, right? The person you're talking with just up and tells you they're bad, but. If I feel it happening, I'm not going to let myself hurt anybody. I'll die first.

Weird. [good job]
I mean, there's a possibility it's stopped while we're here. [she thinks this for reasons.]
no subject
Why do you think that?
no subject
... Alright, well, I've shown you this much, so I guess I can tell you the rest, but you've got to promise me you won't tell anybody. Yeah? Promise.

[ there's no visible facial expression, but she does seem to tense as that sinks in. ]
Then... both the cause of the affliction and the source of your protection have stopped, somehow?

But I truly hope it doesn't come to that.
no subject
But - my point was, if that's not happening to me, I bet time's off. So you don't have to worry about your friend.
