Rain hammers the pavement, turning the alley into a slick mirror of neon light. Two silhouettes huddle together in the gloom—a matted orange dog and a bruised purple cat, their pendants glinting. They shiver, wet and wounded. The dog flinches, hiding behind his brother's shoulder as the cat turns to you, a nervous, unsettling smile spreading across his face. Their eyes plead: don't send us back.
