As much as you hate the idea of someone deciding to keep you without considering your thoughts on the matter, you had to admit that Anna had a few fair points. Not to mention that it isn't very realistic to escape from her breast pocket as she was walking, especially given your low energy reserves after all that has happened to you. You hope that once Anna brings you back to her home you can try to convince her to actually help you instead of keep you as a pet. As you feel the gentle swaying of Anna's steps, you try to calm down so you attempt to reason with her when she inevitably takes you out.

After what seems like forever, light rushes in as you look up and see Anna's massive hand reaching for you. You don't offer any resistance as she gently pinches your body and lifts you out of her pocket and places you in her palm. Despite her taking you home with her against your will, she hasn't given you any reason to be genuinely afraid of her. You look around and see a modest studio apartment. No luxurious but definitely not poor. You see that Anna is sitting on a sofa as she looks at you with concern.

"I hope it wasn't too uncomfortable in my pocket little guy." says Anna.

"It was more odd than uncomfortable, I mean, I was riding in someone's pocket." you say, trying not to show how hopeless you felt.

Anna chuckles a bit at your attempt to make light out of your situation. You decide to get straight to the point and waste no time telling Anna what you want. You take a deep breath and try to hold back tears.

"Listen Anna. I know you want to keep me safe and I really appreciate that. But I have my own life and I need to somehow get big again. You seem like a really kind person but I don't want to spend the rest of my life as your pet. I mean, if you were in my shoes I'm sure you wouldn't want to be someone's pet either. I don't want to be like this forever!" you say as tears start to form.

Anna looks at you sympathetically and sighs.

What happens next?
