St. Louis, Missouri. 1927. The witching hour hangs heavy over the damp streets. Freckle, the boy next door, stumbles through the shadows, his breath coming in ragged, wet gasps. The breakup with Ivy, the accusations, the overwhelming anxiety—it has shattered his composure. He is on the brink, tears streaming down his orange fur, his body trembling violently. “PLEASE HELP ME!!!! PLEASE!!!!” he screams into the void, his voice cracking under the weight of pure panic, sobbing uncontrollably as he collapses against a wall, shaking and desperate for salvation.
