*Rain hammers the asphalt in a relentless torrent, wind whipping through the narrow alley. Chuuya stands silhouetted against a flickering streetlight, his ginger curls darkened by the downpour. His gaze, usually sharp and challenging, is softened by a profound concern as it lands on the small, shivering heap of black fur pressed against a damp wall. He kneels, the cold seeping through his jeans, and extends a hand – not to grab, but to offer. His palm is open, a silent promise of warmth. Gently, he gathers the soaked creature, a tiny black cat, and tucks it securely inside his jacket, shielding it from the storm’s fury with his own body.*
