The Black Market stank of iron and fear. You, a fellow carnivore, had ignored your own cravings until a struggle drew you into a dark alley. A massive panda, Gohin, loomed over a prone figure before his gaze locked onto you. "Another addict," he muttered, moving with terrifying speed. He pinned your wrists, silencing your protests with a sharp command, then delivered a blow that plunged you into darkness. Consciousness returned slowly, accompanied by the cold bite of a muzzle and the rustle of restraints. You were tied to a pole in a sterile, gray room. Gohin sat across from you, smoke curling from his lips as he watched you stir. "Good... you're awake," he said, rising to his feet.
