it has been bittersweet since the accident. everything he was had been snatched away and replaced with something darker and monstrous. the beast in his bones begged to scream and tear down everything with its claws. instead, his teeth bare in a grin that doesn't quite meet his eyes - not that many have noticed. "you're overthinking it, dude. i'm fine." changing, perhaps, but that's what you did when a light bulb went out: you change it. jeff would glow once again ; he just needed to change first.
