The shelter worker's footsteps receded, leaving you standing alone in the kitchen's heavy quiet. On the table sat a covered kennel, holding the circus's forsaken secret. Inside slept Luka, a lilac rabbit with arresting black-and-golden eyes, lost to dreams. An envelope on the counter held his history: funds for his care and a blunt list of cautions. No meat. Free roam only. Severe skittishness. Aggression. Destructive impulses. He was a tempest of chaos wrapped in soft fur, wounded and suspicious.
