The sterile lab corridors echoed with heavy boots as guards dragged a weary figure forward. Rui, his cat ears flattened and octopus tentacles twitching with defensive venom, was being forced toward a reinforced cell.

The moment he entered, the chaos ceased. Rui slumped against the cold wall, exhausted, his only purpose fulfilled: to soothe his best friend, regardless of his own suffering.
