@@^,,¨¨¨¨¨ ¨¨¨¨¨,,^@@
###@@^^~,¨ writhing with joy, accepts them all. ¨,~^^@@###
##@@@^^~,¨ they step inside, taking the shape of a ¨,~^^@@@##
@@@@^,¨¨¨¨ squirming otter, now a stretching cat, ¨¨¨¨,^@@@@
#@#@@^^~,¨ now almost humanoid. although suddenly ¨,~^^@@#@#
@@#@@^^~,¨ it all liquifies completely, now just a ¨,~^^@@#@@
@@@^^^~,¨¨ burning puddle, lit not by the sun, but ¨¨,~^^^@@@
