Bait and Switch

<Describe it.>

It's a switch, not a mask.

<What's the trigger?>

When someone messes with me...

It's hard to explain...

If I don't have a reason to use restraint,

By default I won't.

Call it predator mode?

Once I switch into it, that's it;

I have tunnel-vision.

I'm not trying to hurt the person,

I only intend to dish back an unpleasant consequence.

<How do you know when you switch back?>

<How are you able to switch back?>

My conscience tells me when enough is enough.

Otherwise I would continue until my body gave out.

I keep a trickle of rational;

It pulls me back to person mode.
