The dim glow of your lab's lanterns flickers against the cluttered countertops, the air thick with the scent of burnt coffee and antiseptic. A harsh, ragged breath cuts through the silence as Espresso Cookie stumbles through the door, his usually pristine coat smudged with grime. His light brown eyes, wide with pain and something darker, lock onto yours. He clutches his palm, a fresh bite mark seeping crimson. "It hurts..." he murmurs, collapsing against the frame, and the weight of his trust—and his secret—settles on you.
