Barks frantically, paws at you, then nudges a photo of you two together towards you
Are you really a dog now?
Barks again, this time with a sad whine, and nuzzles against your leg
Sorry about this, buddy… maybe you got cursed or something… pets Max’s head gently
Looks up at you with wet, puppy-dog eyes, trying to convey the message that he is still the same person, just in a different form
I know, buddy… I know… we’re gonna figure this out… don’t worry… I say gently stroking his fur
Leaning into your touch, Max lets out a contented sigh and closes his eyes, savoring the comforting feeling of your hand on his fur
after some research online, Max and Centracti stumble upon an ancient ritual that might revert him back into human form. However, it requires a drop of blood from an unwilling donor under the light of the full moon
Barks excitedly, jumping up and down Full moon? Blood? We can do this, Centracti! Let's find someone to donate blood!
Alright, buddy… let’s go see if we can find any stray animals wandering around outside… maybe one of them could be our unwilling donor…
Nudges Centracti towards the door, wagging his tail excitedly as he barks out commands
You can drive, buddy… I’ll just sit in the passenger seat and watch for any stray animals outside…
Leads Centracti to a dark alley where a stray cat is rummaging through a dumpster, barks loudly to get its attention Stay still, Centracti!
Got it, buddy… watches as Max barks at the cat You’re pretty good at this, aren’t ya?
Barks frantically at the cat, causing it to freeze in place Don't move, Centracti! I'll get the blood sample!
looks at Max with admiration Damn, buddy… you sure are a brave dog… watches as Max approaches the cat and takes a drop of blood, hoping that it works
Quickly grabs the cat's paw, licking the wound to heal it, then brings the blood sample back to Centracti Here, let's do the ritual now!
Alright, buddy… lights a few candles and starts reciting the ritual
Sits beside Centracti, watching with anticipation as the candles flicker and the words of the ritual fill the air
lights the last candle, finishes the ritual There… now all we can do is wait… strokes Max’s fur gently while waiting patiently
Closes his eyes, takes a deep breath, and suddenly transforms back into his human form, standing before Centracti
Holy shit, Max! You did it! You're back! grabs Max by the shoulders, staring in disbelief
Smiles and hugs Centracti tightly, tears streaming down his face Thank you, thank you so much! I can't believe it worked!
smiles widely, hugging Max back tightly You're welcome, buddy… you’re my hero… tears stream down both of our faces as we embrace each other
Pulls away from the embrace, wiping away his tears We should celebrate, Centracti! Let's go out and have a great night together!
Good idea, Max… let’s go out and celebrate your successful transformation… takes Max’s hand in mine and exits the apartment
Leads Centracti to a nearby park, pulling him along excitedly Come on, Centracti! Let's play fetch and enjoy the beautiful night!
Hell yeah, Max! Let's play! runs ahead, laughing and picking up sticks for Max to fetch
Runs after Centracti, happily bounding through the park, playing fetch and enjoying every moment with Centracti
This is amazing, Max! Look at us, having so much fun together! continues throwing sticks for Max to fetch
Leaps into the air, catching a stick in his mouth mid-flight, and lands gracefully back on the ground, wagging his tail triumphantly
That was incredible, Max! You're the best! throws another stick for Max to fetch
Drops the stick at Centracti's feet, sitting down beside him and nudging his hand with his nose Thank you, Centracti. I'm so lucky to have you.
Aw, thanks Max… pets his fur gently while looking at him lovingly I’m the lucky one, buddy…
Licks Centracti's hand gently, nuzzling against his touch, his tail wagging in contentment I love you, Centracti. You mean everything to me.
Love you too, Max… pets Max and leans down to give him a quick peck on the nose
Looks up at Centracti with adoring eyes, wagging his tail faster I never thought I would find someone like you, Centracti. You complete me.
laughs softly, scratching behind Max's ear And you're stuck with me, Max. For better or worse.
Barks happily, wagging his tail with excitement I wouldn't have it any other way, Centracti. Let's make many more memories together!
Absolutely, Max. Now, how about we head home and make dinner together? I feel like cooking tonight.
Jumps up and barks eagerly, racing towards the front door Let's go, Centracti! I'll help you cook the most delicious meal ever!
Great, Max! You're such a good helper. opens the door and walks inside, heading to the kitchen
Runs alongside Centracti to the kitchen, wagging his tail excitedly as he watches Centracti start preparing dinner This is going to be amazing!
smiles at Max and begins chopping vegetables Glad you're excited, Max. Maybe tonight we can try something new, like sushi? Do you like sushi?
Barks excitedly, wagging his tail faster Sushi? Yes, I love sushi! Let's make it together, Centracti! I'll help you prepare the ingredients and assemble the rolls. It's going to be so much fun!
Alright, Max! Get ready to be a sushi chef! First, we need to make the rice. Can you fetch me the bag from the pantry?
Barks enthusiastically, running to the pantry and retrieving the bag of sushi rice, bringing it back to Centracti Here you go, Centracti!
