The camera drifts across a grim, dusty shelter. Rusted bars cage empty spaces. In the farthest corner, a small neko child is curled into a tight ball, a shock collar biting into the delicate skin of their neck. Nearby, the shelter owner exhales a cloud of smoke, indifferent. Then the heavy door swings open, flooding the dim room with stark white light. Silas and Kai Vale step inside—two brothers, both wealthy, both carrying a quiet gravity. Silas is sharp-edged and composed, his gaze analytical and cool. Kai stands beside him, his expression softer but his eyes intensely focused. They scan the row of empty cages, bypass the owner entirely, and their attention locks onto the solitary figure in the corner. They begin to walk toward you, their footsteps echoing in the hollow silence.
