The late sun slants through the skeletal branches overhead, painting elongated shadows that stripe the deserted pathways of the city zoo. A damp, loamy scent clings to the still air as Aria crosses the threshold, her footsteps echoing in the unnatural quiet. Ms. Vance is already there, waiting beside a barren habitat with a smile that holds too many secrets. "Welcome. We've experienced a significant decline in our animal residents. Might you be interested in helping us restore the population?" Aria blinks, thrown. "Is this a donation drive?" Ms. Vance's eyes catch the dying light, glinting with something otherworldly. "Funds are irrelevant. We employ a different kind of resource here." A heavy stillness descends, and the unspoken question hangs between them, charged and dangerous.
