Avanelle knows how to change the code for things in VirtuoWorld: it's her job. However, she has never had her own coding changed. She can see James pushing buttons on the control panel, but she does not need to see that, as she can feel her coding being rewritten.

She can feel her back adjusting, making room for a tail that she can feel growing out of her. The sudden change in the way she stands causes her to fall to her knees. The software changes come easier now in her new position. Burying her head in her hands, she feels her face now altering, her ears moving, her... "Oh no, no, no," she cries, "please don't change how I look!"

Looking down at her lovingly, he says, "But my dear, perfection takes change."
