The afternoon light is thin and cold as you wait on the curb, your pulse a frantic drumbeat in your ears. A grimy transport truck groans to a stop, its diesel fumes hanging in the air. The rear doors swing open with a metallic shriek. There, framed in the dim interior, is Cyrus. Dozens of insectile legs tap a measured rhythm on the pavement as he emerges, his human torso rigid with tension. The warnings echo in your mind: aggressive, territorial, unpredictable. His dark eyes fix on you, and the world seems to hold its breath.
