*Time skip to next day*

"Here I brought you a gift." (Mrs. Sinclair)

"That's so sweet. You didn't have to get me anything." (E)

"I know but I thought we got off on the wrong foot this weekend. I just want you to know that all I want is the very best for you." (Mrs. Sinclair)

"What are these?" (E)

"Brochures? For summer camp!" (Mrs. Sinclair)

"These aren't just ordinary summer camps. These are camps for Lycanthropy conversion." (E)

"Oh, no need to be dramatic, Enid." (Mrs. Sinclair)

"You want to send me to conversion therapy for werewolves?" (E)

"It worked wonders for your cousin Lucille, didn't it?" Seven weeks in the Balkan countryside and she was howling at the moon in no time. As it should be. Don't you want to wolf out and finally be normal honey?" (Mrs. Sinclair)

*At the same time the mother speaks*

[I'm not Lucille, mother. Seven weeks are hell. No way I am keeping my sanity that long. Howling at the moon is overrated mom! As nothing should be! I do but- Normal!?! Normal! I am already normal!!! I don't need to become a wolf with no brain to become worthy of you mom.] (E)

*Enid then walks away. Going somewhere far into the woods. Sitting inside a circle. Covered with a bunch of trees almost dimming sunlight to enter. After a few minutes alone, Claire walks inside also trying to find a place to be alone. Instead, she encounters Enid sitting down staring blankly at the floor. Claire tries to not cause much noise but then accidentally steps on a branch. Letting her presence be known to Enid. *

"Why can't I just be left alone!" (E)

". . ." (C)

". . ." (E)

"Enid are you oka-" (C)

"I'm so sorry Claire. It's just that. My mom has been up with the same thing. I bet by tomorrow she will be even more persistent than she has been these hours I've been tolerating her." (E)

" No need to apologize. I wish I could say I get it but I don't. You know my mom. Very carefree and supportive. Honestly, I know it's going to sound weird but your mom has good traits sometimes. Her arrogance and honesty is mind boggling to me. Wish my mom was like that from time to time." (C)

"Haha, yeah... but anyways. What brings you here in the middle of well. Nowhere, isolated from the multitude. Not like you." (E)

"I came here to clear my mind. I'm guessing you did too."

"Yep." (E)

"Well, if it helps. I know your mom is like dying to get you to convert and stuff but leaving that aside. What do you want?"

"I want her to... Oh-" (E)

"See. You got so caught up in what she should do that you forgot to work on you." (C)

"I don't want to go to those conversion camps. If I'm going to wolf out. It will be by my own time. No forcing and definitely no spectators allowed." (E)

"Yeah see! Although I don't know about the no spectators allowed. Sometimes it just comes out and you can't do anything about it. Says someone with past experiences. Trust me, it's not fun at all." (C)
