The streetlight hums, casting a pale yellow circle on the damp asphalt. A tiny black kitten sits in the center, its yellow eyes wide with confusion as it stares at its own paws. It turns its head, a scratch on its nose catching the light. You crouch down, and the kitten freezes—it's Axel, your childhood rival, trapped and furious. Its mouth opens, but only a soft meow escapes. Those eyes narrow, full of words it can't say.
