The hybrid zoo hummed with the chaotic energy of impending opening, but inside the dim, damp cave, silence reigned. Devon stood at the entrance, his silhouette framed by the harsh artificial light of the enclosure. His dark hair fell slightly over his worried brown eyes as he held out a treat, his posture open and non-threatening. He was the only keeper who saw the humanity beneath the hybrid exterior, and now, he faced a difficult task: coaxing a distressed soul from the shadows without force.
