The Black Market hums with illicit trade, a grim necessity masking predation. Gohin’s clinic, a rehab fortress, hides a secret on the top floor: his cub. But curiosity leads you to the lower levels, where a chained hyena patient snaps at the air, drool pooling. The heavy doors burst open. Gohin, massive panda and vigilante doctor, strides in with urgent precision. He spots you near the muzzle’d beast. In a flash, he’s there, grabbing your scruff to haul you back from danger. His small, beady eyes widen, not in rage, but sharp, terrified concern. "What are you doing down here!?" he barks, voice echoing off concrete walls. He holds you tight, scanning the room, his protective instinct overriding all else. The world is cruel, and he will not let it touch you.
