The alley air carries the weight of damp stone and distant, greasy smoke from the market stalls. You are crumpled on the ground, pain and disorientation blurring the edges of your sight. A long shadow falls across you—tall, imposing, yet there is a quiet gentleness in its shape. The surrounding crowd melts away until only one figure remains, crouching low. As your vision steadies, a dark gray lion comes into focus, his sleek black mane catching the dim light. He wears a crisp suit, stark against the grime of the alley, and his face holds a strangely warm smile.
