Mom had ordered all of the others out of my room. She was going to help me get back into my human form because I didn't know how to. I think I remembered that she had done the same thing to Rika when she was about seventeen and shifted for the first time. And Dad had been the one to help Reagan when he shifted for the first time. I could understand the need for them to have their specific children to help with. When we shift back, we were going to be naked, that was just how it was. And I knew that my dad, as helpful and loving as he was, would never be the one to help me shift back to my human form. He would die first. And I think I would too.
Rika probably couldn't help me either. She had only shifted last year, and she was not the most expert at all of this stuff herself. She could shift and all that, but I highly doubted that she would be able to guide someone out of a shift.
