Neve did not remember exactly how he had managed to convince Aldric to shift to his full bear size and lay on the bed.
It took some coaxing and a lot of reassurance, but eventually the shy bear beastman had agreed.
Neve was worried about the bed at first. A massive bear laying on a foam bed seemed like it might break or damage the furniture. But then he remembered that the bed was a gift from the system. The system gifts never broke or ripped. They were somehow designed to withstand anything.
Aldric's bear form was big. His body was warm and his fur was incredibly soft.
Neve carefully climbed onto Aldric's body and curled up against the bear's warm body. The fur cushioned him perfectly.
For the first time in days, Neve felt completely relaxed. He fell asleep quickly.

Suddenly, Neve opened his eyes.
He was in a familiar black room. The room with the expensive looking viewers on the walls. The room where people watched him from another world. The control room.
