I have returned. What's that look on your face...? Do I smell different?

Want me to tear apart my prey faster? No problem.

When can I be the boss?

...I'm smelling more things now.

Enhance my combat skills? That's not necessary. My claws are fine.

Yeah, my claws. They're very sharp.

Yeah, my claws. They're very sharp.

Okay. Where?

I'll be the boss!

Is it done?

Have you ever touched the ground with your legs and hands at the same time? Yeah, like a running animal. Try it, you'll feel safe.

You're confused. What's wrong? Should I... not stay here in my territory?

Is my balancing device bothering you?

Howl-howl—Now, give me a treat. What don't you understand? Noctis said he'd give me treats if I did this, and he did. Now it's your turn.

Claw scratches? It has nothing to do with me. I haven't brought my weapons in since you told me not to last time. And I only wanted to try and see which is stronger, the claws or the table.

Who's in charge of dancing on the table here at Gray Raven? Is that you?

Do you miss Buddy too? ...Buddy is right here. I can feel it.

Have you seen an endless forest? Not on a screen or in a story. A forest where animals and their babies live together... I've never seen it either. Canon could have told you all about it if she were here.

Red Desert... What is this, an old movie? I don't understand. Do you like red? Back in the institute, red meant danger. It made me anxious. But Vera is red, so I began to like it later. I will decide the meaning of red myself.

This thing on my neck? It only hurts me sometimes. It's not the first time I have had to wear something like this anyway. You want to take this off? It's alright. I'm different now. This doesn't trap me anymore.

(Sniffs) Your scent still calms me like before. Nuh-uh... I don't call it the "human scent" anymore. Your scent has nothing to do with your shape.

Huh? I've been waiting to watch the new documentary on wolves with you. Why do I like them so much? Because their bodies are like mine, and that calms me. There were several bodies before this one, but they all failed because I couldn't find my shape. Now I've found it, and it's okay if I don't smell like a human anymore, because a wolf pup won't be abandoned for that. Just like how it is in the documentary.

Hey. Give me your hand. Here. The pink sister from Gray Raven asked you to go out and get more sunlight, but you haven't been out, so I got some for you. Sunlight.

I understand what a pack is now. It makes me feel safe, so I'm free to run on four legs or walk on two. I can do anything I want and be anyone I want. And so can you. You can be something other than just my companion.

I can now see more colors. The world is no longer pure white. What? Can you see more colors in me too? That's good.

Stop. This is the line. Stay in your area.

Huh? This isn't fun.

Hmmm!

Why are you giving this to me?

Ugh... What did you do... It smells terrible. New hand sanitizers? Barf... You even got it on the thing you gave me... N-no, don't take it away!

Noctis broke the gift you gave me last time. But it's alright, 'cause he also sat on his terminal and broke that too. Hm... "Karma".

...In exchange, you can touch the claws.

Your gifts always smell nice.

I have something for you too, but it's not ready... I'll give it to you next time.

...Huh? Why do you want it back? To introduce it? No need. It's already mine.

I turn orange every time I see you now.

I was going to give you the bionic pigeon I caught in the square yesterday, but it got taken away. I'll be more careful next time.

I want to see the endless forest with my own eyes. Vera and Noctis are going too. You're coming, right?

It's like you're putting a leash on me, but I don't need to run away.

That's okay, feel free to do your things. I'll follow you and stay in your sight. Or not.

I made a lair with the things you gave me, and this one will sit nicely on the top. Do you want to check it out with me?

Hey, you're zoning out.

Some frogs sleep with their eyes open. Can you do that too?

What are you thinking? I want to know.

Are you bored? Let me show you how lizards catch bugs. You play the bug. Just stay there and don't move.

No! Tail! Stop! ...Huh? Nothing.

Almost time to rest. I'm going back to the lounge.

How much longer do you need? I've watched all the videos on the terminal... Then, hurry and find me some new ones.

Gray ravens are similar to eagles, aren't they? No? Then why are you as tough as the eagle in the video?

You're still not done? Let me help you. I'll make all these folders disappear.

You're tired as well? Yawn—If you want, I can put my balancing device on you if you're cold. It's fur, it'll warm you up.

I'm here. At your command.

You asked for me? What is it?

...Roar! Were you scared? No?! Urgh... I lost my bet with Noctis...

Someone was looking for you. I wrote his name there. You can't read it? So? I was only in charge of writing it down.

Take it. It's a leaf I picked up outside. It was the nicest leaf on that tree.

Rub... This is a greeting. You've never seen it? I have many videos like this on my terminal. I'll show you later.

You're here! I've been waiting for you. Nuh-uh, I've been looking forward to this scent. It's nice.

Morning. Let me wrap my tail around you. Why do I do this? I've decided that this is how I show I'm feeling happy.

...You've tamed me, but I haven't tamed you, have I...

My new frame is very good at balancing.

No! No weird experiments!

Is this really needed? Then I'll do it to you too.

I'll make your fingers disappear right away.

Urgh... I-I don't like this! Stop touching my ears!

...Captain has cleared me to strike back.

I've kept my territory safe today.

...Scents of my prey.

Your colors, ha... I like them!

Claws! Tear them apart!

Are you running this way?

Run, prey, run! Hahahahaha!

Urgh... Calm down, claws.

Cough... Arms, feet... don't slow down!

I... can't smell it...

I'd rather hunt than stay in the back.

Has the hunt begun?

Oof... I know. We need to "keep some alive."
