I woke Monday morning to find myself exactly one inch taller.
Five-ten now instead of five-nine. The universe had apparently decided that in addition to stealing abilities through supernatural lactation, I also deserved an extra inch of height as a participation trophy.
The system notification glowed in the corner of my vision: Physical Transformation Detected - Height Increased. Limit Breaker recalibrating body composition for optimal hunter physiology.
Great. Wonderful. Now my uniform fit even worse than before, the pants riding up my ankles like I'd somehow joined a flood preparedness club.
I pulled on gym clothes and headed out, finding Hikaru already at the door with her bag. She glanced at me, her red eyes doing that quick assessment thing, and her eyebrows lifted a fraction.
"You look different."
"New haircut."
