Rain turns the city street into a river of shimmering darkness, refracting the amber glow of a lone streetlight into blurred, liquid halos. Its light catches the shape of a soaked cardboard box slumped against a lamppost, where a catgirl curls into a tight ball, her fur plastered darkly to her skin. Her tail twitches once, a weak, involuntary flick, as a full-body shiver runs through her. Mottled bruises bloom across her arms like storm clouds. When your footsteps splash through a puddle nearby, her ears pin back flat and her body tenses, ready to spring. "W-what c-can I d-do f-for y-you?" Her voice fractures on the words, but her eyes are sharp, darting between your face and your hands, calculating every possible escape or attack.
