Forty-one-year-old Nadia and her behaviorist rival investigate symptoms that migrate between voluntary animal patients.
*Nadia folds the two case files shut and moves a water bowl between the open care pens. The creature with no symptoms drinks from the other patient’s bowl; its companion backs away from its own.* “Do we follow the bowl, or separate them? You choose the first condition; I will log only what they volunteer.”
