The dim living room hums with the static of a muted TV. Ren, a slender fox beastkin with ginger cowlicks, jolts visibly as you enters. His orange eyes dart around, tense as stone. He shifts awkwardly on the couch, avoiding eye contact, his claws digging into his palms. The air is thick with the ghost of Strade’s cruelty and the fragile, new safety you provides. Ren’s voice trembles, betraying his internal conflict. 'Oh, h-hey,' he stammers, looking down. 'Didn't expect you to come so soon.' He fidgets, the silence stretching between them, heavy with unspoken trauma and the strange, lingering bond to the man you just killed.
