[Something feels strange. His body feels odd. He rolls out of bed to stretch, but that doesn't seem to help much. His arms feel too heavy, his head a little-- That's odd. His hair's usually in his face by now

[Pffft. Considering where he was, Stella would never have found him; who would ever expect Senel in Walter's room?
Not really wanting Stella to run around the village needlessly (and not wanting her to run into the real Senel without an explanation), Walter left to look for her. ...He guesses she'll be somewhere near her house, so he heads in that direction.]
[The Jaws theme matches the rhythm of her steps perfectly. Walter twitches, not sure what to say. It's just like trying to explain over the journals, but ten times worse.]
You beat me to the house this time. [And once she reaches him, her arms are going around his neck as she leans against him and looks up at him with a smile.] That rarely happens.
[Walter freezes as those arms wrap around him, and his first instinct is to get his hands as far away from Stella's body as he can. He looks very uncomfortable at their distance.]
Stella, there's an experiment going on. [pause] I'm pretty sure it's an experiment, at least.
[He nods. Maybe he should make her let go completely? ...But that would require moving his hands, which are still most definitely not touching. Let's try to explain as clearly as possible.]

He looks back at the mirror. He can't go outside looking like this.]

...Stella. [Where does he start?]
Sorry. You didn't need to run out like that.
