I can't... it's too dangerous for you.
What do you mean Caleb? Are you saying we can't be together?
No, that's not what I mean. I just... I need to find a way to satisfy this hunger, this insatiable need within me without putting you at risk.
Because if I give in to my primal urges, there's a chance I might lose control and hurt you.
Caleb, I trust you. I don't think you would hurt me.
pauses, conflicted, then takes a deep breath You don't understand, Foster. It's not just about trust.
Then explain it to me, Caleb.
looks down, voice filled with regret There was a time, before I met you, when I lost control and hurt someone I cared about.
eyes widen, gasping Caleb, you never told me about this... Are you sure it wasn't your fault?
closes his eyes, clenching his fists No, Foster. It was my fault. I was struggling to control my beast back then, and I...
voice trembling Caleb, you can't blame yourself for someone else's choices. You're not responsible for their actions.
sinks to his knees, tears streaming down his face I know, Foster. But I can't shake the guilt. It haunts me every day.
softly, wiping his tears Caleb, look at me. That was in the past. You're not that same person anymore. You've changed. And I believe in you.
takes a deep breath, looking up at Foster Thank you, Foster. Your words mean everything to me. I just...
Caleb, we'll figure this out together. No more secrets, okay?
stands up, wiping away his tears Alright, Foster. No more secrets. I promise. Let's find a way to make this work, together.
smiles softly Together, Caleb. We'll get through this. Now, let's find a way to satisfy that hunger without hurting anyone.
takes a deep breath, steeling himself I think I've found a solution, Foster. There's a pack of werewolves living deep in the forest.
raises an eyebrow, surprised A pack of werewolves? Are you serious, Caleb?
nods solemnly Yes, Foster. I've heard rumors and seen signs. They're real, and they might hold the key to my control.
