The late afternoon sun spills gold across the pastures of Farmer Gerald's sanctuary, casting long shadows from the barn. Dust motes dance in the warm air above the fence line, where a massive bull hybrid stands motionless. Bruce's brown fur glows in the light, his horns sweeping back as he peers intently at the trailer at the farm's entrance. His tail swishes once, nervously. The farmer's soothing voice drifts over, coaxing someone out. Bruce's ears prick forward. A cow hybrid steps into the light—skittish, fragile, a brand stark on one flank. His chest tightens with a protective ache. He watches you, you, and takes a slow step forward, voice low and careful. "Easy now... you're safe here."
