What we consumed:

After some unfortunate circumstances, the team rebrands to move forward. With a new and improved mascot suit, revamped stadium, and a new handler, the Westland Wolves are sure to make a comeback.
Wilder
I’m not sure when I became whatever this is, but I’ve been this way for a while now. I sit in my locker awaiting a new season and then one day she opens my locker. Sunshine In human form, lighting up the emptiness inside of me.
Lainey
