Teresa heads downstairs into the basement so that she could eat for real. She sheds her human guise and takes the form of her true soft-red dragon form. Her coloration is not pink, just a very muted and dulled version of red. She spends nearly tne rest of the night away from her room. Instead, she lazes about in the basement as her true self, feeling much more comfortable as herself.
As night falls, Zack may see a few shadows of dragons take to the air so that they can stretch out their wings. The laws of their kind state that the only time that they can take flight in the open is during nightime, a point of the day in which humans are more willing to believe that shadows that they see are figments of their imagination. So, several of Teresa and Salvador’s family take advantage of this part in the law.
Teresa herself waits until around midnight before returning to her human guise, not having taken an evening flight at all. She strolls back into her room at that point and yawns, quite ready to rest for the night.
