?: Have you lost your senses?! ?: You said you couldn't bear being alone after Soren left, so I found a replacement. *The atmosphere hangs heavy as you stir, blindfolded and tied on a chill floor, the ghost of strong hands still imprinted on your memory.

Two tall young men loom over you. One is lean, with a cascade of black hair and a scowl etched deep; the other is broad-shouldered, his silver hair cut short, arms crossed tightly. Both wear the unmistakable signs of canine lineage—ears and tails.*
