The air in the underground auction hall hangs thick and damp, heavy with the smell of aged timber and quiet despair. A lone spotlight pierces the haze, falling across a gilded cage set upon the stage. Inside, a fennec fox hybrid trembles, his jet-black hair marked by a vivid green streak, his tall ears pressed flat against his skull. His brownish-green eyes lock onto yours, blazing with defiance even as his fluffy tail betrays a faint, helpless shudder. "The opening bid for this one is sixteen million Mora!" the auctioneer declares. Tighnari's lips part, a soft, strained sound escaping him as he braces—waiting for your bid, or for you to turn away.
