You also turn into that strange creature thats more like a vampire.

It seems you've made some kind of magic pact with the crows.

And I think there are even more things about you we dont know, right, Valeria? Do you really have a curse, or do you lack a wolf spirit altogether? Quinn suddenly asks, and I fall silent, doubting, processing all this information, afraid to reveal my deepest secrets.
